THE ADMIRAL'S HOUSE

Built in 1855, The Admiral's House
with its venerable wooden bust of Nelson



above the entrance, was originally constructed as a residence for the Naval Officer in charge and the Store keeper.
In fact, this house has never accomodate an Admiral.
   

The ground floor is a Museum with many interesting articles significant to the historical development of the Dockyard

Also located here, the entrance to the left, is the Restoration Gift Shop.

In it you will find a number of souvenirs reflective of the Dockyard, as well as post cards and films.

   
Beside the house is a Sandbox tree over 200 years old, whose pods were used to hold sand, which substitute for blotting paper on gentlemen's desks.

Behind the Admira's house can be found the old stone kitchen.

The ancient ovens were used on festive occasions until recently by the people of English Harbour.
Here, you will see the bakers busy at work producing their oven fresh pastries.

The pineapple turnovers are irresistible and be sure to take a loaf of ''pan brown'' bread with you to savour later.
