It is situated on Mount Fitzwilliam on a site formerly owned by Paul Drumgold, and commands an extensive view of the island. In front stands a statue of Columbus, which was modelled in London by the aid of Washington Irving and imported by Governor Sir James Carmichael Smith, who presented it to the Colony. The gardens around Government House are extensive and contain fine old trees.
