Visit a Library Housed in a Jail

Just a couple of blocks from the National Gallery, past Government House, there’s an unusual octagonal building with a domed roof painted flamingo pink. This is Nassau Public Library, formerly the town’s jail—only today the jail cells house the library’s books instead of the town’s prisoners. Head up to the top-floor veranda for panoramic views of the city and the ocean.
