Executive Mansion Improved.
The improvements in the appearance
of the governor’s mansion have been
completed, under the direction of Keep
er of Public Buildings and Grounds
Geo. Tumi in, and a decided change for
' the better is noted.
One of the main changes is in the
appearance of the front of the mansion,
brought about by the tearing away of
the old and very small front porch,
and the erection of anew and very
spacious front porch. This has changed
the entire appearance of the buildings
and grounds,
Then, too, the mansion has been en
tirely repainted, the first time in ten
or fifteen years, and instead of the
somber red brick it is now colored a
delicate gray, with a lighter gray paint
used in the trimmings.
