Fodor's Review:

8

Balcony House. A charming 18th-century landmark -- a pink two-story house named aptly for its overhanging balcony -- this is the oldest wooden residential structure in Nassau, and its furnishings and design recapture the elegance of a bygone era. A mahogany staircase, believed to have been salvaged from a ship during the 19th century, is a highlight of the interior. A guided tour through this fascinating building is an hour well spent.
