Government House

Second Floor - Family Living Quarters

• The private quarters of Their Honours are located on the Second Floor. They consist of the Master Bedroom and the Lieutenant Governor's Den, as well as a room known as The Library which serves as Their Honours' private living room. This is where they can relax and read a book, watch television or listen to music. Originally, when the residence was built in 1883, the Library was one of two large adjacent bedrooms on the Second Floor that were separated by folding doors. Occasionally, with the doors unfolded, they were converted to a temporary ballroom for large events. One still serves as the Royal Bedroom, while the other became the Library.
