Proposed Governor’s Mansion Addition Rebuffed

New Proposal Expected

In response to a chorus of protest from across Texas, on January 15 the State Preservation Board (SPB) withdrew the proposal for a 3,000 sq. ft. addition on the north side of the Governor’s Mansion. While the retraction of the north addition concept is good news, all who care about the Mansion should join in maintaining a vigil on the ultimate outcome of this important issue. The SPB has announced that it still intends to explore other ways to meet their stated space concerns for the Mansion. Read More Here.
