Swinging around the Capitol, you come to the Federal-style Governor’s
Mansion, erected in 1811-13. From 1788 to 1811 the governors of Virginia
had to live in a two-story wooden structure, ironically called “The
Palace,” located on the same site as the present building. Just outside
the Capitol Square, to the north, you will see the new State Library and
Supreme Court of Appeals building. ¶ _Leave Capitol Square by same gate
through which you entered, stopping on Grace just across Ninth._
