South Dakota Governor's Residence

The first resident, Governor Mike Rounds, lived in the house after its dedication on August 3, 2005.

The South Dakota governor's mansion, built across the small man-made pond from the South Dakota State Capitol Building by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s.

It was subsequently moved near Rapid City, South Dakota, when the construction of the new mansion began in the spring of 2004.

Private and business donations funded the new mansion.

The 14,000-square-foot (1,300 m2) residence is on the east shore of Capitol Lake, at 119 North Washington Avenue, in Pierre, South Dakota.
