Texas governor's mansion- Austin.

Texas governor's mansion- Austin.

You got it!

I had to look around for a pic that didn't have a full view of the Texas Flag and even then the tail is showing.

The mansion is the oldest continuously inhabited house in Texas and fourth oldest governor's mansion in the United States that has been continuously occupied by a chief executive. The mansion was the first-designated Texas historic landmark, in 1962.[3] It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as "Governor's Mansion" in 1970, and further was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1974

Ya know why Jim?

I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert's bare, man.
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.

Well, nearly..

How would anyone have time for the tour? It would take months to visit every room!

Here's something a little smaller, back in the States and an infamous part of our history.
