From the version of 16 May:	From the Council's Web site:
The Mansion House was originally called 'Brooklands' when it was completed in 1863. Evan Matthew Richards, a local builder was the first owner who made it his family home. Richards was Mayor of Swansea between 1855 and 1862. After Richards death in 1880, Brooklands was sold twice. The then County Borough of Swansea purchased it in 1922 with the intention of making it the official residence of the Mayor and renaming it the Mansion House from then on.	Swansea's Mansion House is situated in Ffynone and was originally called "Brooklands". The house was completed in 1863 when the owner Evan Matthew Richards, a well known local builder, made it his family home. He was in fact Mayor of Swansea in 1855 and 1862. After his death in 1880 Brooklands was sold twice before being purchased by the then County Borough of Swansea in 1922 with the intention of making it an official residence for the Mayor. From then on it was renamed the Mansion House.
The house still has many of its original features such as the Victorian tiled entrance hall, the mahogany staircase and the white Italian marble fireplaces. The staircase showcases a stained glass window depicting the original owner and his family. The external features have changed little from when the house was first built in 1863.
