Government House

Government House stands as a four-level brick mansion with Georgian architectural elements, featuring a mansard roof and white carved wood cornices near the State House.

Built in 1870 based on designs by Richard Snowden Andrews, the residence underwent substantial renovations between 1935 and 1936 to align with colonial architecture.

The residence contains seven public rooms, including the Drawing Room displaying portraits of George Washington and Frederick Douglass among other historical figures.

Located on State Circle in Annapolis, the building functions as both the governor's residence and a venue for Maryland state governmental functions.

The mansion exhibits furniture from Baltimore makers Potthast and features walnut doors carved with Maryland's coat of arms and regional industry symbols.
