The Georgian-style country house was originally a Victorian mansion with a mansard roof. It is located in Annapolis, directly across the street from the historic Maryland State House. Government House is at the heart of Maryland history and the furnishing, paintings and other items within its walls tell the story of Maryland's rich and glorious past. Among its treasures are portraits by Charles Willson Peale, one of America's foremost portrait painters, and furnishings by Potthast, eminent Baltimore furniture makers of the 19th century. There are seven public rooms in Government House: the Entrance Hall, the Victorian Library, the Reception Room, the Parlor, the Conservatory, the Drawing Room, and the State Dining Room. The library contains a wide range of works by important Maryland and national authors. On display in Government House are works from the two state-owned art collections, the Annapolis Collection and the Peabody Art Collection, installed by the Maryland Commission on Artistic Property of the Maryland State Archives. In the Entrance Hall are portraits of Queen Henrietta Maria, after whom Maryland was named, and Cecil Calvert, the founder of the colony. The portrait of Queen Henrietta Maria was painted in 1900 by Florence MacKubin after the original by Anthony Van Dyck, which hangs in Warwick Castle in England. The portrait of Cecil Calvert is also by Florence MacKubin. The State Dining Room features the portrait of the Sharpe Family painted in 1754 by Gawen Hamilton. There are also works from the Peabody Art Collection, including paintings by such artists as Alice Worthington Ball, Charles Willson Peale, and Francis Guy. The garden boasts a beautiful Victorian-style fountain installed in 1990. The fountain was designed by Graham Landscape Architects in Annapolis and sculptor Lyle Beddes of Historical Arts and Casting helped to create it. The design includes many images that represent Maryland and its bounty, including corn, crabs, tobacco, terrapins and the Baltimore Oriole, the state bird.
