New Mexico Governor's Mansion

The New Mexico Governor's Mansion is a residence in Santa Fe built with Spanish-Pueblo architectural style combined with a modern interior layout. It functions as both the governor's home and a venue for state ceremonies and official gatherings.

Built in 1954, this residence is the third official home for the state's governors following earlier locations including the Palace of the Governors. It replaced a neoclassical structure that preceded it as the governor's official quarters.

The rooms inside feature works by artists and craftspeople from New Mexico, reflecting the state's artistic traditions rooted in indigenous heritage. These pieces fill the spaces where the governor conducts daily life and official duties.

The residence is located in Santa Fe and generally not open to the public as it is a private residence for the governor. For information about any possible special events or scheduled visits, it is best to check with the New Mexico state office.

Before this building was constructed, governors lived in a tan-colored neoclassical structure designed to echo the White House in Washington. This earlier residence reflected state leaders' desire to express their connection to national authority through architecture.
