2 Document No. 5. [Session
The following arc the buildings over which the Super-intendent
has exercised undisputed control during the past
year: (lovernor's Mansion, Raleigh, IV. C, Fayetteville Ar-senal,
Fayetteville, N. C
The condition of" the (Tovernor's Mansion is such as to
require some slight repaii's, to the extent of about $1(H) ; and
has been occupied by the Superintendent of Public Works,
His Excellency, the Governor, having elected not to occupy
tlie premises.
There has been no rejuiirs made U|)on this building, except
such as have been paid out of the private funds of the Super-intendent
in occu])ation.
The construction of thi^f house is an architectural failure
—
the i)lastcring having been placed directly u])on the brick
walls. This i-enders the Avails so senible to atiiiospheric changes,
as to make the building totally unfit for occupation as a tene-ment.
The paper used upon the walls is of excellent (junlity, but
cannot be kept upon them during rainy seasons, nor over one
year. To remedy this defect, it would be necessary to insert
bond-timbers throughout all the walls and fur thereon for lathe
and ])lastcr. This is utterly impracticable without rebuilding
the house tVom its foundatii>u.
It is recommended that the Mansion and premises annexed,
be sold and the proceeds of sale paid into the Treasury or the
house taken down and ei'ected in such a manner as to avoid
the necessary expenditure of its purchase price annually in the
further attempt to make it tenable.
The Fayetteville Arsenal is in a dilapidated condition and
unoccupied. It is proposed to lease the premises for the year
1870, to responsible ]>arties, at a fair rental value, conditioned
that necessary repairs be made thereon, at the cost of the
tenant.
The following juiblic buildings : The Penitentiary, of
Ilaleigh, N. C, and the University of North Carolina, at
Chapel Hill, N. C, are under the control of Boards of Direc-
