A team of architects from North America and the Caribbean are expected to arrive in Guyana soon to lend their expertise to aid in the restoration of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council, City Mayor Hamilton Green said.
According to Green, the architects are expected to arrive in the country within the next two weeks. He told Guyanese media that the private sector is facilitating this aspect of the project, explaining that a private firm is paying the architects’ travel and accommodation fees. However, Green was reluctant to disclose the name of the firm and the amount of money being spent to facilitate the architects.

Its architecture is described as Danube Gothic in timber, largely due to its stylised tower, with wrought – iron crenellations at the very apex.
