SUMMARY:Art and Culture - Tour NSW Government House (Tour full)
DESCRIPTION:Our August Art and Culture event is a SWIC Guided Tour of NSW Government House\, the Official Residence and Office of Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC\, 39th Governor of New South Wales and Mr Dennis Wilson. Her Excellency is the 28th Governor to occupy this Government House and has held the position since 2 May 2019. \nIn 1788\, soon after a British settlement was established at Sydney Cove\, the first Governor of the colony of New South Wales\, Governor Arthur Phillip\, laid the foundations of Sydney’s first Government House.  It was located in Bridge Street (on the site of the Museum of Sydney) and was home to successive governors until 1845 when Governor Sir George Gipps\, 9th Governor of New South Wales took up residence in the present Government House. Locally quarried sandstone was used for the construction of this new House. Its location and architectural Elizabethan Gothic Revival style was influenced by the existing Governor’s Stables\, that had been completed in 1821 (now the Conservatorium of Music located at the main entry gates to Government House). The present Government House is characterised by castellated towers and other medieval features. \nOver the years the building has been extended\, refurbished and modernised to suit the tastes and needs of successive Governors. Today\, the House holds a significant collection of portraits\, furniture\, decorative arts and gubernatorial memorabilia as a result of Vice Regal patronage. \nPLEASE NOTE: Government House Sydney is the official residence and office of the Governor of New South Wales.
