At the corner of Vlissengen Road and Homestretch Avenue is the Castellani House, formally named in 1993 after its architect, Cesar Castellani. The original building was constructed during 1879 to 1882 and was the residence of the Government Botanist George Jenman beginning in 1883. Forbes Burnham resided there from 1965 until his death in 1985, during his tenure as Prime Minister and later, President of Guyana. The Castellani House is the home of the National Art Collection.
