The Government House is the official residence and office of the Governor-General of Barbados.
It was built in the colonial days and was the residence of the Governor of Barbados.
It later continued in the role of official residence and office of the Governor-General following political independence from the United Kingdom in 1966. Government House was once a Quaker Plantation, until it was purchased by the Imperial Government.
