Photo Description
Pictured is the back of the Queen Victoria statue by sculpture John Adams-Acton, flanked by two cannons. The statue, located in Nassau's Parliament Square, was erected in celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday on May 24, 1905. To the right of the statue can be seen the former Colonial Secretary's Office, built in 1805 by James Tait, which today houses the government administrative offices. Parliament Square's pink government buildings, examples of Classical style architecture, were constructed in the early 1800s by Loyalists who came to the Bahamas from North Carolina. In the background is the former Adderley building, where the Churchill building now stands.
