The Texas Historical Commission this week gave its approval to an addition to the Texas Governor’s Mansion.
Interestingly, the Associated Press noted that, aside from the fact that this won’t be the gigantic two-story addition sought earlier, the Historical Commission’s staff will actually get to decide on the size of the addition:
But the commissioners took a cue from two other boards and didn’t specify Thursday how big the addition should be. It could be just a small one to include a fire stair or a larger one that would include another bedroom and storage areas.
Adding on to the 154-year-old historic building has been a touchy subject since restoration officials announced plans for a two-story addition last fall. That plan was withdrawn in January.
