Naval Officer's and Clerk's House by Red Dragonette

Naval Officer's and Clerk's House

Red Dragonette

My camera's battery was dying, so I didn't have a building pic to go with this.

"This is a two storey wooden building and the most recently constructed building in the facility. It was built in 1855 to house the senior naval officer or the clerk/accountant of the dockyard. It is a unique building, architecturally reflecting its Georgian neighbors in proportion with large windows and room height, but elements of Caribbean vernacular can be seen in the finishing details, such as the screen-louvered room dividers. The Clerk's House has a large wrap-around verandah on three sides to capture the prevailing winds.

Today, it is the Dockyard Museum, Natural Resources Management Unit and Gift Shop for the National Parks."
