Government House of British Columbia is the official residence of the lieutenant governor of British Columbia in Victoria and is nominally a residence of the Canadian monarch.[1] It has casually been described as "the Ceremonial Home of all British Columbians."[2] It stands in the provincial capital on a 14.6 hectares (36 acres) estate at 1401 Rockland Avenue;[3] while the equivalent building in many countries has a prominent, central place in the capital, the site of British Columbia's Government House is relatively unobtrusive within Victoria, giving it more the character of a private home.
