Here's one of othe places on that walking tour that looks preetty interesting:

Balcony House: This 18th-century restored historic structure (1788) is the oldest wooden residence still standing in Nassau and a fine example of a tropical colonial house.

Guided tours are given where visitors can view the restored interiors displaying period antiques and objects that are original to the house. The house once stood closer to the water before fill expanded the waterfront. The interesting facts about Balcony House is the architecture. The design and construction features were used to keep the house cool, dry and termite free.
