The Leland Stanford Mansion, often known simply as the Stanford Mansion, is a historic mansion and California State Park in Sacramento, California, which serves as the official reception center for the Government of California and one of the official workplaces of the governor of California.
Built in 1856, the mansion was formerly the residence of Leland Stanford, the 8th governor of California and founder of Stanford University. In 1900, the Stanford family donated the estate to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento, which operated a children's home there until 1978. Subsequently, the California government purchased the property to serve as the capital's ceremonial reception center and as a state park, officially known as the Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park.
