Английская Википедия:Governor's Mansion (Shawnee, Oklahoma)
The Governor's Mansion in Shawnee, Oklahoma was built in 1903, on the speculation that Shawnee would be selected as the state capital and that this structure would become the Governor's official residence when Oklahoma became a state. However, Oklahoma did not attain statehood until 1907, and the Legislature chose Guthrie as the first capital, before naming Oklahoma City as the permanent state capital in 1910.[1]
The house was built in an area known as Shawnee's first neighborhood, "...where the first generation of merchants, town leaders and early professionals lived."[2]Шаблон:Efn
The house was never used as the Governor's Mansion. Once it was clear that Shawnee would not become the state capital, the mansion became just another private residence. It is also known as the Giza House, because it was once owned by Zygmund O. Giza.Шаблон:Efn It is still considered a local landmark and local residents still refer to it as the Governor's Mansion.[1] It was registered with the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[3]Шаблон:Efn
