Richmond - The Virginia Governor's mansion. I have seen this building referred to incorrectly as the White House of the Confederacy. That is not true. The White House of the Confederacy was, and still is, located about 2 blocks away from this building. This is the home of the governor of Virginia and has been involved in the Virginia government since the early 1800s.
