Government House was the office and residence of British Governors from 1855 until the return of sovereignty in 1997. Construction began in 1851 and took four years to complete. It was originally built in the Georgian style and bore rich colonial characteristics. It underwent a number of large-scale renovations, with the latest undertaken in 1942, during the Japanese occupation, when a dominant central tower was built to link the two original buildings. The roofs were also modified to produce a more Japanese flavour, thus diminishing the strong European style of the mansion.
Since 2005, Government House has reverted to use as the official residence and office of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). (Not open to the public except during special occasions, usually in March and November.
