Texas For decades, the governors of Texas have resided at 1010 Colorado, in a Greek Revival mansion. The entire first floor is furnished with genuine antiques from 150 to 200 years old. The accents are eclectic and rich, from ornate Indian chandeliers to a very early pianoforte. On the mansion's grounds, fountains, artful shrubbery and wrought iron details make for a pleasant stroll. The mansion remains an active residence and state building, so public access is restricted to weekday mornings.
Admission is free.
