ANNEX 11
ALTERNATIVE USE OF FLAGSTAFF HOUSE
Altogether eleven alternative uses for
Flagstaff House were considered by the Committee.
A summary of the alternative uses proposed and of
the reasons for the Committee's final decision
is set out below :
(i) A Marriage Registry
(ii)
Although this proposal was an
attempt to improve upon the cramped
conditions in the City Hall, it
represented a relatively limited
use as far as the general public
was concerned.
Furthermore, the
conversion of the building to
official use could detract from
its architectural appeal.
A Library for the Supreme Court
The Committee was advised by the
Government Maintenance Surveyor that
the existing floors are totally
inadequate for use as a library
and any form of reinforcement or
renewal of the ground and first
/floors
