The Nebraska Governor's Mansion is significant for its association with the history of its construction and the notion that Nebraska and
her people deserved a grand building dedicated to the residence of her executive officer, the Governor. Prior to the construction of this building,
governors had either received a housing stipend from the legislature that paid for their living expenses, or, after 1899, lived in the governor's mansion
that the legislature purchased from its previous owner at 14th and H in Lincoln, near the State Capitol. Nebraskans remain proud of the
Governor's Mansion, for the visibility it lends to the separation of our branches of government, for the glorifying of the executive branch, and for its prudent beauty.
