Executive Mansion Project


Governor's Mansion Tour (HA1014)


Bob's next project takes him to Richmond, Virginia, and the restoration of the governor's mansion. Over the next thirteen weeks, he'll take us behind the scenes of the enormous renovation taking place. After touring some of Richmond's sights and sounds, Bob joins Roxane Gilmore, Virginia's first lady, to tour the house, meet preservationist Fred Ecker who is removing a mantel for restoration and talk about what's going to happen with the nation's oldest occupied Executive Mansion. New innovations and historic preservation are both part of the design plan.
