The Public Buildings, Georgetown

The 'Public Buildings' or 'Government Buildings' was erected by the Dutch and handed over to the Court of Policy on 5th August 1834. It stands distinctly at the center of Stabroek (later renamed to be Demerara) as the administration center of the colony. The building was designed by architect Joseph Hadfield with a foundation of greenheart logs and built of brick with stuccoed Roman cement to resemble stone blocks. During the French occupation in 1782 the building was retained. Today the structure is known as Parliament Building. The image shows the Public Buildings in British Guiana.
