Built in 1883 for $24,000, this three-storey mansion has been the residence for the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba since 1885. It was described by the Provincial Architects as “Victorian architecture with French influence from the Second Napoleonic Empire.” One of the few remaining examples of Second Empire architecture in Manitoba, Government House has housed 22 of the province’s 25 Lieutenant Governors.
