The Iowa Governor's Residence and National Historic Landmark

1971-present day

▲North Lawn, 2019

	1971	After 15 years of the Hubbell Trust caring for the property, Terrace Hill was donated to the State of Iowa to help meet the need for a more spacious governor's residence.
	1976	After many use considerations and improvements, the third floor of Terrace Hill became the official first family residence.
	1978	The first and second floors are open for tours and used for official functions. Two of the second floor bedrooms were converted into offices for the first spouse and the governor. The remaining two bedrooms are used, as needed, for overnight visits by dignitaries and other guests of the first family.
	1984	The former stables of the carriage house were renovated to become the Terrace Hill Visitor's Center.
	2003	Due to the prominence of its first two owners, and its architect and architecture, Terrace Hill was designated as a National Historic Landmark.

Present Day

Terrace Hill is governed by the Terrace Hill Commission and supported by fundraising from the Terrace Hill Partnership. It hosts ~30,000 visitors/year.	Terrace Hill has held official receptions for honored delegations from China, Japan, the Soviet Union, and Germany, as well as many distinguished political figures from throughout the United States.	The total renovation cost of Terrace Hill was ~$3.5 million. Half of this was covered by the fundraising efforts of the Terrace Hill Partnership, while the other half was state-funded.	The legislature appropriates its annual operating budget.
