The coat of arms of Antigua and Barbuda was designed in 1966 by Gordon Christopher. It was officially introduced on 16 February 1967.

At the top of the Coat of Arms is a pineapple , a fruit for which the islands are famous. There are several plants found around the shield, all abundant in the country red hibiscus , sugarcane , and yucca plant. Supporting the shield is a pair of deer representing the wildlife of the islands. The design on the shield shows the sun, also found on the flag, rising from a blue and white sea.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Government House , Saint John s, Antigua and Barbuda Saint John s , Antigua & Barbuda The official residence as well as office of the Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda , was built in the 17th Century Colonial style with Georgian architecture and extensive gardens. The residence is not open to the public. In 1801 a proposal for the construction of a Government House slated to be the Governor s residence was adopted. Previously he had resided in rented homes. Unfortunately, this stately home fell into disrepair some years back but today, a private society along the government raised funds to have the building restored. Government House, known originally as The Parsonage , was constructed in the latter half of the eighteenth century. It provides a dramatic record of the changing role of the Antigua and Barbuda Governor General and is an important symbol of this evolution, from early proprietary government to the time of full adult suffrage and creation of the legislative council, with an elected majority. As the needs of the Crown s representative evolved, the house went through extensive alterations. Modifications made to the building reflect its evolving role as the home of the Governor General. Once restored, the Government House complex will continue to serve as the Governor General s residence.
