New Hampshire Governor's Mansion
Bridges House, located at 21 Mountain Road in Concord, the capital of New Hampshire, has served as the governor's official residence since 1969.It is set on eleven landscaped acres, with views toward downtown Concord, Rattlesnake Hill, and the Merrimack River valley.The main entrance is at the center, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by an entablature and granite lintel.The street-facing east facade has a pedimented brick gable with a deep recess at the center and ogee crown moulding along the rake edge.It is a particularly early example in the state of Greek Revival architecture executed in brick, a building material that was only then beginning to come into wider use for home construction in central New Hampshire.
