The Victorian-style mansion, home to North Carolina governors since 1891, was once described by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as “the most beautiful governor’s residence interior in America.” Built from native materials, the Executive Mansion has been occupied by 29 governors’ families. Gov. Pat McCrory is the 29th governor to live in the Mansion.
