Georgetown City Hall
A Gothic Revival timber city hall completed in 1889, instantly recognizable for its spires and lace-like woodcarved decoration.
City Hall stands on Avenue of the Republic and is a leading example of colonial-era timber architecture in Guyana, with towers, pointed arched windows and cast-iron decoration. Together with St. George's Cathedral, it is among the most photogenic buildings in Georgetown. The building has been poorly maintained for years and is being restored in phases, so visitors usually can only admire it from the outside. Nearby colonial buildings include St. Andrew's Kirk and the High Court, making this a good place to link together on foot for photos.
