South Carolina Governor's Mansion
South Carolina Governor's Mansion, Official residence in Columbia, United States
The South Carolina Governor's Mansion features Federal architecture with white exterior walls across nine acres of landscaped grounds in the Arsenal Hill neighborhood.
Built in 1868, this structure survived the burning of Columbia by Sherman's forces in 1865 as part of the former Arsenal Academy military complex.
The mansion displays collections of silver, china, furniture, paintings, and documents that represent South Carolina's governmental and social development over centuries.
Public tours of the mansion require advance scheduling through the Governor's Mansion Commission, which manages preservation and modifications of the property.
The mansion complex incorporates two additional historic buildings, the Lace House and Caldwell-Boylston House, which serve administrative and event functions.
