IC Doubles Week Competition
Afternoon Tea Reception at Government House - 11 January
The official residence of the Governor General of the Bahamas since 1801, this imposing pink and white building on Duke Street is an excellent example of the mingling of Bahamian-British and American Colonial architecture. The graceful columns and broad, circular drive recall the styles of Virginia or the Carolinas in the USA, but the pink colour, distinctive cross-laid cornerstones, and louvered wooden shutters are typically Bahamian.
Many of our IC visitors were invited to Government House for an opportunity to enjoy afternoon tea with Lady Foulkes, wife of the current Governor-General of The Bahamas, Sir Arthur Foulkes, and were entertained by the Royal Defence Force band.
