Government Houses of the British Empire and Commonwealth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Government House is the name usually given to the residence of Governors-General, Governors and Lieutenant-Governors in the Commonwealth and the British Empire.

The House functions nearly as a presidential palace. It serves as the venue for the Governor's official business, serving as the official place of business for the administration, as well as the many receptions and functions hosted by the occupant.

As the office of the Governor, Government House is also used as a metaphor to refer to the Government or the Governor.

Government House is a residence for a governor; so now many Commonwealth nations without the British monarch as Head of State name their presidential palaces State House or President's House.
