New Hampshire Governor's Mansion

The New Hampshire Governor's Mansion is a brick residence featuring Greek Revival architecture with a side gable roof and end chimneys across five bays. The building sits on eleven landscaped acres at an elevated location north of downtown Concord.

Charles Graham built this residence in 1836 as one of the first brick houses in Central New Hampshire at that time. It has served as the official governor's residence since 1969.

The mansion serves as the governor's home and a gathering place for official state events. It shows how a residence can blend private life with public duties through its role in New Hampshire's government.

The property is located about 2 miles (3 kilometers) north of downtown Concord on Mountain Road and is easy to spot from the highway. The elevated setting provides good orientation, and the spacious grounds allow for comfortable viewing and walking.

From its elevated position, the mansion overlooks the Merrimack River valley, Rattlesnake Hill, and the Concord skyline in the distance. This outlook connects the residence to the broader landscape surrounding the capital.
