"And Hand-Loomed Persian Rugs Selected by the Wife of Gov. Earl Warren"

"In 1967, Nancy Reagan spearheaded plans to build a new governor's mansion in Carmichael, northeast of downtown Sacramento.
"The 20,000-square-foot house was constructed on a bluff overlooking the American River, but work wasn't finished until after Ronald Reagan left office. His successor, Jerry Brown, then in his early 30s, called it a pretentious 'Taj Mahal' and refused to move in.
"The state auctioned off the Carmichael home in 1982. Proceeds from the sale, plus interest generated over the years, covered the cost of renovating the historic mansion."

Phil Willon and Chris Megerian in the Los Angeles Times report that Jerry Brown will move into the California Governor's Mansion.
