THE SURGEON’S QUARTERS

When was it built?

Its uses during the First Settlement

The two Government  Houses built during the First Settlement were on the site of the Surgeon’s Quarters.  The second one was destroyed when the First Settlement was abandoned.  You can still see some of its foundations at the back of the Surgeon’s Quarters. (see below)

                                                             

Its uses during the Second Settlement

Early in the Second Settlement the building was occupied by the civil officers as well as the surgeon but he was the only one living there by the mid- 1840s.

Behind the Surgeon’s Quarters is the kitchen building.  Kitchens were usually built separate from the living quarters so that if there was a fire in the kitchen, it did not spread to the house.

Its uses today

Today the Surgeon’s Quarters is used as the Lions Club rooms and house a large collection of historical photographs.
