The Governor's Mansion | History of SC Slide Collection

The Governor's Mansion, seen in this 1907 postcard view, was originally constructed in 1855 as the officers' barracks of the Arsenal Academy, which later merged with the Citadel and moved to Charleston. One of the few structures to escape the fire of 1865, it is now the official residence of the Governor of South Carolina.
