Governor's Mansion

Sacramento County · Corner 16th and H Streets, Sacramento · location approximate

This mansard-styled Victorian house was built for Albert Gallatin in 1877. It was acquired by the State of California and served as the first official Governor's residence. Governor George C. Pardee and his family moved in during November 1903. It ultimately served as home for 13 Governors over a span of 64 years.

1971 register text, presented as a historical document. It uses the period's terms for Native people; the state's landmark listings still carry most of this wording, and the California Office of Historic Preservation maintains the program's current texts.

Many of these plaques have since been recast or their texts revised. The California Historical Landmarks program and its current texts are maintained by the California Office of Historic Preservation. California Office of Historic Preservation ↗
