New York State Executive Mansion

The New York State Executive Mansion is the official residence of the Governor of New York. Located at 138 Eagle Street in Albany, New York, it has housed 31 governors and their families. The Italianate building was constructed in 1856 as a banker's private home. Samuel J. Tilden became the first governor to reside in the house in 1875, and the state purchased it two years later.
