Government House, Official residence in downtown Winnipeg, Canada
Government House features three stories with 23 rooms, 11 bathrooms, and a flag tower, encompassing 20,000 square feet of Victorian architecture.
The building, constructed in 1883 for $24,000, replaced the previous lieutenant governor residence at Upper Fort Garry, which required constant maintenance.
King George VI made history in 1939 as the first reigning monarch to stay at Government House during his Canadian tour.
The residence contains three formal salons, a state dining room with marble baseboards, and multiple reception areas for governmental functions.
The Chippendale table and chairs from England, dating to 1770, underwent complete restoration in the early 1970s.
