Nassau - Vendue House / Pompey Museum

The neo-classical Vendue House was constructed in the early 1800s for auctions, including those of slaves. A second story was added in about 1913 when the building was taken over by the Telephone, Telegraph and Electricity Corporation. The building became the home of the Pompey Museum of Slavery and Emancipation. The roof of the building was damaged in the market fire of September, 2001 and underwent renovations.
