Government House, also known as the Governor's Mansion,[1] is the official residence of the Governor of Maryland. It is located on State Circle in Annapolis, Maryland, adjacent to the Maryland State House complex.[2] The mansion has been the home of the Governor since 1870; before that, from 1777 until 1870, Jennings House was the residence of the Governors of Maryland.[3]
Government House was designed by Baltimore architect R. Snowden Andrews (1830–1903).[3] Originally designed in the fashion of the time, with a Mansard roof[3] and Italianate arched windows.[4][5] the mansion was converted in 1935-36 to its present Georgian style.[3]
