Old Government House is the official residence of the Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, Canada.
The building was constructed between 1826 and 1828 initially for the Lieutenant-Governor and Governor of New Brunswick. The building is made from quarried sandstone and is located along the St. John River in Fredericton. The current Lieutenant-Governor resides on the third floor while the first two are open to tours. From 1896 to 1900, it served as a school for the hearing impaired, a military barracks during World War I and as a hospital after that war. From 1934 to 1988 it was the Royal Canadian Mounted Police J Division regional headquarters.
