Old Government House, Fredericton

The Palladian stone building stands on a 4.5-hectare estate along the Saint John River, featuring symmetrical facades and sandstone construction.

Built between 1826 and 1828, the residence served New Brunswick's governors until 1893 and later functioned as military barracks and RCMP headquarters.

The grounds contain archaeological evidence of earlier Acadian settlements and burial sites of both Wolastoquewiyik and Acadian peoples.

The building currently operates as the Lieutenant Governor's residence, hosting provincial ceremonies, official receptions, and welcoming visiting dignitaries.

The property includes an 1838 outbuilding called the Buttery and maintains original Regency trim, winding staircases, and period-specific fireplaces.
