Government House
Houses / Mansions, Central
Fodor's Review:
The handsome white Victorian occupying the land between Upper and Lower Albert roads is Government House. Constructed in 1855, it was the official residence of British governors but is shunned by the new chief executives -- some say because it has bad feng shui. During the Japanese occupation it was significantly rebuilt, so it exhibits a subtle Japanese influence, particularly in the roof eaves. The gardens are opened to the public once a year in March, when the azaleas bloom.
