Government House

About

Situated towards the western end of Stanley on Ross Road, Government House is both the home and the workplace of the Governor of the Falkland Islands. Work began in 1845 to a design by Governor Moody. The central, stone part of the building was the original house. The first person to take up residence was Governor Moore in 1859. Subsequent Governors added to the building producing a curious but attractive mixture of styles and with great character and charm.
