| The elaborate City Hall |
Wood has been the preferred choice for building materials- with excellent hardwoods- Purpleheart and Greenheart available from the interior.
Ironically, with the advent of controlled logging and a thriving timber export trade, imported concrete makes for a cheaper option, and is used for the majority of new structures- both housing and commercial.

| At 143 feet, St George's cathedral is one of the tallest free standing wooden structures in the world. |

More Victorian Gothic- the High Court

 |
| The Parliament Building- opened for administrative rule just as slavery was abolished in1834- used today as the seat of government. |

The Georgetown lighthouse- no longer working, but a favourite for school visits
