Abstract:

The marker was erected on Burke Square in Raleigh to commemorate the Executive Mansion. Before the Executive Mansion, state governors lived in various locales and sometimes hotels around Raleigh before Governor Thomas Jarvis insisted on an official residence. The Executive Mansion was the product of this plea and Governor Daniel G. Fowle was the first to reside in the mansion.
