Government House, Rangoon, Colonial residence in Yangon, Myanmar.
The Government House combined Queen Anne style and baroque architecture across its 90-acre plot, featuring ornate decorations and intricate exterior details.
Built in 1895 for 717,000 rupees, the Government House served as the residence for British colonial governors until Myanmar gained independence in 1948.
The building represented British colonial authority in Myanmar, hosting ceremonial events and accommodating high-ranking officials during the colonial administration period.
The structure stood near Shwedagon Pagoda at the intersection of Prome and Ahlone Roads until its demolition in 1985 due to earthquake damage.
Japanese troops documented their victory by taking photographs in front of the Government House during their occupation of Rangoon in 1942.
