Government House, Historic mansion and former veterans hospital in Glenora, Canada.

The three-story sandstone building stands on a promontory overlooking the Saskatchewan River, featuring formal gardens, a fountain, and classical architectural elements.

Constructed between 1912 and 1913, Government House served as the official residence for Alberta's first six lieutenant governors until its closure in 1938.

The mansion maintains exhibits highlighting provincial governance while offering educational programs about the development of Alberta's political institutions.

Located at 12845 102 Avenue in Edmonton, the historic site welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 5 PM throughout the year.

The Department of Veterans Affairs acquired the property in 1951 for $350,000 and operated it as a convalescent home for disabled veterans.
