Government House

In 1833-34 local contractors Isaac Smith, Henry Smith and Nathan Wright built Government House, a finely proportioned framed structure of neo-classical style as the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of PEI Before the attainment of Responsible Government in 1851, it served as the seat of the Colonial Executive power. Through the years this house has provided a setting of simple elegance for the formal entertainment of the island community and its distinguished visitors.
