Governor Edward Nott. It was built from 1706 onward. In 1710, its first official resident was Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood who served as acting governor	12 Entry of Governors Palace This is a highly accurate replication of the arms arrangement in the front hall.
13 Entry of Governors Palace The Governor's House, because of its representation of the king, became a repository of arms. In the great hall there were many rows of guns arranged in racks along the dark paneled walls. These firearms were the symbol of protection. They served the bodyguard of the colonial Governor and they were usually the latest models of small weapons used in warfare with Indian or other invader.	14 Stairs of Governors Palace	15 Lady's Governor Room Lady Dunmore’s dressing room	16 Children's Room sleeping space for the Dunmore children

21 Formal Room Ballroom with Dutch Stove - It was decided that chimneys would not be feasible on this wing, even though stoves were known to have been installed in 1770. It was entirely possible that flues for these Dutch stoves were built within the thickness of the outer walls without projection into the room. Since stove heating was not considered necessary, the wall flues were omitted	22 Architecture	23 Crest COAT OF ARMS ON NORTH GABLE OF PALACE SEPT 3 1941 Garter Background and Petals of Thistle #411 Flower Sprays and Antiquing Glaze Color #410 Upper Right and Lower Left Quarters Background #408 Cloth in Crown, Upper Left and Lower Right Quarters Background, Motto Background, Mouths of Lion and Unicorn, Red Jewels in Crowns #409.

This coat’s pattern is based on an antique enlisted man’s coat in the National Army Museum.	32 The Revolutionary-era fife was an instrument designed to be heard over miles and through the din of battle. Most were made of boxwood or another hard wood, but some metal examples have been recovered.
33 The field music fifer uses this strap to carry a fife; a fighting unit would have slung a cartridge box from it.	34	35 A single breasted sleeveless waistcoat would have been made of linen broadcloth and fastened with 12 buttons. Waistcoat and breeches are known as small clothes. Coat tails are turned back to allow freedom of movement. The heart decoration is based on a British example, and also serves to reinforce the hook and eye closure. http://www.history.org/history/fifeanddrum/redregimentals.cfm	36 Chownings
