BAHAMAS NEW CABINET OFFICE TO BE BUILT

 

Churchill Building, Nassau, Bahamas


The Churchill Building on downtown Bay Street, Nassau, is being demolished to make way for a new Cabinet Office.

In 1965, while I was working as a secretarial temp in the Churchill Building, it housed The Bahamas Treasury. At the time, I went up on the roof of this building with my colleagues to watch the S.S. Bahama Star bring in the survivors from the burning S.S. Yarmouth Castle. I took photos and three of my poems about this tragedy were published in "The Tribune" newspaper, Nassau.

    It looks a nice building – seems a shame to demolish it.

      Unfortunately, it's deteriorated over the years, Patsy. It should have been kept up, of course.
