Government House of British Columbia is the official residence of the lieutenant governor of British Columbia in Victoria and is vice-regal residence. It has casually been described as "the Ceremonial Home of all British Columbians." It stands in the provincial capital on a 14.6-hectare estate at 1401 Rockland Avenue; while the equivalent building in many countries has a prominent, central place in the capital, the site of British Columbia's Government House is relatively unobtrusive within Victoria, giving it more the character of a private home.
