Governor Linden's Mansion

Governor Linden's mansion is located inside *Clementina* sim, The Old World, Sansara. It is three sims away from Da Boom, the oldest sim on the grid. Clementina is also a very old sim. The building is listed as *a Second Life heritage home*. Land description says *Visit, come to the basement, and learn more about the history of Second Life! Houses a time capsule. Built by Steller Sunshine.* It is, indeed, owned by Governor Linden. Land does not allow scripts.

The place is listed as an infohub.

Governor Linden is, in theory, the administrator of Second Life. Almost all Protected Land and Abandoned Land on Linden-owned continents is owned by Governor Linden. However, it appears that the account of Governor Linden is shared by various Linden officials over time.

In the yard, which is partially covered with grass, there is a monument dedicated to Second Life. On it, it is written: *This monument has been presented to Linden Labs to mark the culmination of its beta test. This will be an everlasting reminder of all they have done for and given to their beta testers. May it forever be token of our appreciation and gratitude for giving us the tools to create this amazing world.* Near it, there is another sign: *Thank you early creators for all your hard work and dedication to our success. Linden Lab stuff.* There is also a billboard advertising the Ivory Tower library of prims in Natoma. In the middle of the yard there is also a swimming pool. The pool has a hole that leads to the basement.

There is also a building in front of the swimming pool with a snooker table and a game. At the second floor, which has access through stairs, there is a smaller room with a bed.

The house is large. The first room hosts two armchairs. The second room is a large corridor with stairs going up and a bathroom. The corridor leads to two large and high rooms. The one to left hosts a kitchen and a dining room, while the one to right is a living room with a giant TV set and a fireplace (and stairs leading to the basement). Upstairs, one can find an interior balcony with an office. Circular stairs lead even higher, to a large balcony (opened to the kitchen) and two empty rooms. The building has large windows.

The basement is large and appears like a large exposition. There are paintings on the walls dating back from 2003. The paintings are there to show the world how Second Life looked like in its infancy, in 2003. Many of the places listed there no longer exist. There are also maps of the world as it looked during its first days, the first sims opened in 2002 and soon afterwards. The entrance from the pool can also be seen here.

There are a few objects displayed here too: *Name Of The Ride* which appears to be non-functional, the *Time Capsule* which seems to contain many things in its inventory, the *Teleport Tour* which also seems not functional, *FAQ* which contains notecards to frequently asked questions and the *Event Sign* which seems to be outdated.

Some residents have proposed that the yard in front of the building should be used for protests for a lower land tier.
