About Governor's Mansion State Historic Park

California's executive mansion, popularly known at the Governor's Mansion, was built in 1877 for Albert and Clemenza Gallatin. Albert was a partner in the Sacramento hardware store of Huntington & Hopkins. The State of California purchased the house from Joseph and Louisa Steffens to use as a home for California's first families in 1903 for $32,500. Victorian architecture was somewhat out of style by then, but the house was suitably impressive, conveniently located, and comfortable.


The park is located at 16th and H streets in downtown Sacramento. A small gift shop is located in the carriage house, where the entry fees are collected and orientation begins.
