Trip notes: Originally built by a hardware store owner
in 1878, the mansion became California's Executive Mansion in
1903. The mansion has 15 rooms and five bathrooms. It is an example
of Victorian-Gothic architecture. The interior design reflects
a mixture of tastes, ranging from the original Victorian builder
through all the various governors and first ladies who lived
there. It was home to thirteen of the state's governors until
1967 when then Governor Ronald Reagan became the last governor
to live there. The mansion is open by tour only.
