The Governor's Residence in Hartford, Connecticut is a historic mansion located on Prospect Avenue. Built in 1909, the mansion was designed by the renowned New York architecture firm Tracy & Swartwout and was originally owned by the prominent Colt family. In 1943, the state of Connecticut purchased the property and it became the official residence of the governor.

The mansion boasts stunning Beaux-Arts architecture, with its grand entrance featuring a sweeping staircase and Ionic columns. The interior is equally impressive, with ornate moldings, marble fireplaces, and intricate chandeliers. The residence also features a formal dining room, a ballroom, and several sitting rooms.
