How do you use the Governor's Residence in Puerto Rico 1897: Special Edition?

Quick answer

There is no building called "Governor's Residence" in the rulebook — you may be thinking of the "Residence" expanded Building, which scores VP based on your Countryside tiles.

Details

The rulebook does not mention a building named "Governor's Residence." The "Governor" in this game refers to the player holding the Governor marker (the first-player token), not a building [p.9 — Gameplay].

The closest matching Building is the Residence, an Expanded Commercial Building. At the end of the game, if it is occupied, its owner scores VP based on the number of Countryside tiles they own: 4 VP for 1–9 tiles, 5 VP for 10 tiles, 6 VP for 11 tiles, and 7 VP for all 12 tiles [p.21 — Fire Station/Residence].

Watch out: If you meant a different Building or a Role, let me know its exact name (e.g., "Residence," "City Hall," "Fortress") so I can give you the precise rule — the rulebook uses very specific Building names and there's no "Governor's Residence" among them.
