He took residence at the mansion in 1855. It is one of three oldest governor's residences in continuous use in the United States. The governor is also given the use of an Official Residence on the state fair grounds in the central part of the state. Governors have traditionally used this residence part of the year. Modern governors, like Jim Edgar and George H. Ryan , have maintained separate residences in Chicago where larger state agency offices are situated.

Currently the Governor has spent less than 500 hours total in the State capital. LISTS RESOURCES |
