The Bahamian Parliament Building is the home of the House of Assembly of the Parliament of the Bahamas, located in Parliament Square, Bay Street, in the Bahaman capital of Nassau. The coral pink-colored building was constructed in 1815 by Loyalist refugees from the newly-independent United States, in the British colonial style, often compared to the American Federal style.{{Cite web |date=2017-05-08 |title=Tour Parliament Square |url=https://www.nassauparadiseisland.com/things-to-do/unique-tours/history-culture/tour-parliament-square |access-date=2021-03-07 |website=Nassau Paradise Island |language=en}}{{Cite web |author1=Dawson, Jessica |author2=Thompson, Tracey |date=n.d. |title=House of Assembly |url=https://www.ramblebahamas.org/items/show/7 |access-date=2024-11-02 |website=Ramble Bahamas |language=en}}
