Updated: 6:42 PM EST December 20, 2020 Another holiday tradition has gone virtual in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Governor Ned Lamont and First Lady Annie Lamont today released a video extending holiday greetings to the residents of Connecticut and taking them on a virtual tour of the house as it is decorated for the season. According to a release from the Governor's office: The Governor’s Residence, located at 990 Prospect Avenue in Hartford, was built in 1909 and has served as the official residence of the chief executive of Connecticut since 1943. It is used for many official functions of the governor and is made available to nonprofit organizations for charitable events throughout the year. While it is owned by the state, its preservation, restoration, and maintenance are aided by the Governor’s Residence Conservancy, a nonprofit organization.
