Concord's Governors Center was a Governor's Mansion

The historic 1890 Governor Frank Rollins Mansion and Carriage House, located at 135 North State Street, are now open to the public for both business and personal enjoyment. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. These two properties of the Governors Center have been recently renovated to offer historic business opportunities to Concord, such as new office and conference spaces with the latest up-to-date technology, while preserving the original style and charm of yesteryear. It is also designed to be the perfect place for various venues, such as corporate parties, weddings, baby showers, or birthday celebrations, comfortably accommodating 50+ people. The one-of-a -kind, ornate "Boat Room,” originally designed by Governor Rollins as a bedroom, resembles the hull of a ship, and is a "must see" option for any of these events. The Carriage House also offers a game room and state-of-the-art golf simulator, with corporate and/or personal memberships available.

The Governor Frank West Rollins Mansion is located north of downtown, at the southwest corner of Church and North State Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story Victorian wood frame building, with an L-shaped layout and a cross-gabled roof. The interior is lavishly decorated in Colonial Revival woodwork.

The house was built in 1890, and is one of the city's unparalleled examples of Shingle and Colonial Revival architecture. It was designed by the Boston firm of Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul, and was featured in New Hampshire Homes for its elegance and attention to detail. The "Ship Room" was designed by the naval architects Burgess and Packard, again with meticulous attention to detail. Rollins, a native of Rollinsford, was a banker when entered politics in 1894, serving a single term as governor in 1899-1900.
