Title
English: North Elevation of the Government House
Description

The elevation here shown does not correspond with that of the Government House as executed; it is perhaps an unsuccessful competitive drawing. The architect of the building has not positively been identified, but was probably James Robinson, referred to In The New-York Directory and Register of 1792 as "house carpenter and master builder.
