Freetown's excellent natural harbour (an important World War II naval base) has deep-water docking facilities at the Queen Elizabeth II Quay. The city is the nation's commercial and transportation centre; industrial enterprises are limited and include diamond cutting, confectionary, paint and shoe enterprises, rice milling, and fish packing. Freetown is the site of Fourah Bay College on Mount Aureol (founded 1827, part of the University of Sierra Leone, 1969), Njala University College (1963), the Milton Margai Teachers College at nearby Goderich (1960), a teachers college, a technical institute, and several government and Christian and Muslim secondary schools. Fort Thornton (1796), now the State House and residence of the president, and the House of Representatives stand on Tower Hill. colleg hous
