Richmond VA-Virginia, Governor's Mansion Federal Style House Vintage Postcard

Description: Richmond VA-Virginia, Governor's Mansion, Federal Style House, Vintage Postcard. The Virginia Governor's Mansion, better known as the Executive Mansion, is located in Richmond, Virginia, on Capitol Square and serves as the official residence of the governor. Designed by Alexander Parris, it is the oldest occupied governor's mansion in the United States. It has served as the home of Virginia governors and their families since 1813. This mansion is both a Virginia and a National Historic Landmark, and has had a number of successive renovations and expansions. The fountain at the center of the circular drive at the Executive Mansion is thought to have originated as a fishpond built during the Kemper administration in the 1870s. Since its construction, the fountain has undergone several changes. In 1891, the ornamental centerpiece was a swan, replaced in 1932 with a heron by Governor Pollard. The two-tier, cast-iron Roman fountain that sits in the drive today was given to the Mansion during the Robb administration in the 1980s. Tichnor Brothers, Inc. (1908-1987) 160 N.
