Government House (Falkland Islands)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Government House in Stanley has been the home of the Falkland Islands' London-appointed Governors since the mid-19th century. The official residence was built in 1845.

The 1911 Britannica says in the Falkland Islands article that "Government House, grey, stone-built and slated, calls to mind a manse in Shetland or Orkney."

Sir Ernest Shackleton stayed here during his famous Expedition he allegedly described his time there as being "far colder than any time on the ice". Whether that refers to the welcome he received or the room temperature is not clear!
