Governors Mansion Transformation From Jarvis Folly to Beauty
The North Carolina Governors Mansion on Burke Square was once derided as Jarvis Folly and a Victorian nightmare. A 1925 sanitation probe rated it unsanitary, with dust and exposed wiring noted. After a $50,000 interior renovation led by Mrs. McLean, the mansion gained warmth, safer furnishings, repaired plumbing, and restored portraits, becoming a symbol of pride for the state.
