Government House in Stanley, Falkland Islands

Government House, Stanley

Government House in Stanley has been the official residence of the Governors of the Falkland Islands since the mid-19th century. The Encyclopædia Britannica in 1911 wrote that "Government House, grey, stone-built and slated, calls to mind a manse in Shetland or Orkney."
