Government House in Stanley has been the home of the Falkland Islands' governors since the mid-19th century.[1]
History
The official residence was built in 1845.
The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica says in the Falkland Islands article that "Government House, grey, stone-built and slated, calls to mind a manse in Shetland or Orkney."
There is a conservatory on the northern side of the building, which Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh visited during his tour of the Falklands in 1991.[2] One of the world's southernmost grapevines grows there, of the Black Hamburg variety.[3]
Ernest Shackleton stayed here during his famous expedition. Allegedly, he described his time there as being "far colder than any time on the ice".
It is a listed building.[4]
It was the site of a major battle and of the surrender during the 1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands.
