Home to North Dakota governors from 1893 to 1960, this stately mansion is the subject of a charming book about the building's structure and changing appearances, its occupants, and the process of its restoration as a state historic site.
In essays by Robert Mitchell, Lauren McCroskey, Sheryl O'Donnell and Dan Rylance, readers find wonderful glimpses of the past, reminiscences by former first ladies and their children, and a lively recounting of the events in 1934 that led to North Dakota having four governors in seven months, highlighting Gov. William Langer's tumultuous political career.
