TheGovernor's House, also known asBuilding 2, is a historic house onGovernors Island inNew York City. It was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1973.^[2]

The Governor's House was builtc. 1805–1813, during the War of 1812 and was originally known as the Guard House.^[3]^[4] It is the oldest structure on the island that is not a fortification,^[4]^[5] but contrary to popular misconception, is not the Colonial Governor's Mansion, which was built in 1702.^[5] Building 2 was commanding officers' quarters between 1822 and 1843, then was used the main guard house and post commanding officers' quarters until the 1920s.^[5] The building was then used as officers' quarters by 1922.^[5] A brick annex was built to the south in 1939.^[3]

The Governor's House is a two-storyGeorgian brick structure. The footprint is similar to aGreek Cross, and thegable roof projections, covered with asphalt, intersect at the center of the "cross". The entranceportico containsIonic columns under anentablature, with a paneled wooden door behind atransom, and is accessed by a concrete-upon-brickstoop.^[4] At the entrance portico above the second story is a smalllunette window.^[3] The windows around the house are six-over-six, double-hung, with brownstone windowsills. The east-side annex has aColonial Revival doorway and cast stone sills.^[4]
