Facts and practical information

The Pennsylvania Governor's Residence is the official residence of the governor of Pennsylvania, in the Uptown neighborhood of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The neo-Georgian residence was built from 1966 to 1968 and designed by George M. Ewing, heading an architectural firm in Philadelphia. The mansion is currently only used for official functions and meetings, because Governor Tom Wolf commutes from his private residence in nearby Mount Wolf. ()
