Georgetown City Hall

Georgetown City Hall

The Georgetown City Hall, located in Georgetown, Guyana, was completed in 1889. Its architecture is described as Danube Gothic in timber, largely due to its stylized tower, with wrought-iron crenelations at the very apex.

The building is open to the public, and the once-handsome concert hall, on the third floor, is a curious sight to behold. It is now the temporary home of the Department of Environment and Health, whose own building was pulled down recently after being judged to be unsafe.
