Governor's Mansion is the official home of the Governor of California. It housed thirteen governors and their families from 1903 to 1967 and began housing the 39th, and current, governor in 2015. The mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
George Pardee was the first governor to live in the house. Ronald Reagan, who lived in it for only four months, was the last governor to reside there for nearly 50 years.The Governor's Mansion was not occupied by state governors between 1967 and 2015. Governor Brown, in his fourth term, decided to move into the Mansion after it had undergone massive renovation.
The thirty-room, three storey Second Empire-Italianate Victorian mansion was built in 1877 for a local hardware merchant. The State of California purchased the house in 1903 to serve as a governor's mansion. The structure has been renovated a number of times over the years. In 1967 after the Reagans moved out, the mansion was turned into a museum and opened to the public.

Postcards I have received from 2013 to 2018 primarily through Postcrossing and Swap-bot although there are some postcards here that are from other sources.
