New Mexico Governor's Mansion

The current structure, located at 1 Mansion Drive in Santa Fe, New Mexico, has served as the Governor's official residence since 1954.

[1] Prior to 1954, the Governor's Residence was located in downtown Santa Fe, adjacent to the New Mexico State Capitol.

It featured neoclassical architecture and was meant to resemble the White House but was painted a light tan color.

By 1950, however, the mansion was in severe disrepair and the New Mexico Legislature authorized funds for a new residence that same year.

This adobe structure, constructed in 1610, remains standing today and is now a museum and tourist attraction.
