The maybe grandest building in Georgetown and one of its best kept can usually not be visited, just admired from outside, from behind a tall iron fence. There is an information board about it, as is usual in Georgetown, where there is talk about the 'Public Buildings', as apparently the Parliament Buildings are also called. The cream-coloured structure dates from 1834. On the ground floor are arcades, on the upper floor white columns and in the middle is a portico with further back a dome. At a corner is a bronze statue, representing - as it says on a plaque at its feet - Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow, father of Guyana's trade unionism.

Interesting It was worth going into the garden to see this building close up. There were several canons in the garden. The building has a Neoclassical style.
