Government House, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (2011)

Built in 1834, the residence of the lieutenant governor is known by Islanders as "Fanningbank." The name comes from the fact that the building sits on crown land set aside by Lieutenant Governor Edmund Fanning (in office 1786-1804) to be developed into a vice-regal residence. Known for years as "Fanning's Bank," the name became condensed to its present form.
