Old Governor's Mansion
Old Governor's Mansion, Governmental residence in Frankfort, United States.
The Old Governor's Mansion features a Classical Revival design with six limestone columns supporting a grand portico and ornate woodwork throughout the interior spaces.
Built in 1798, this mansion served as the official residence for Kentucky's governors until 2004, making it one of the longest-serving executive residences in the United States.
The mansion's rooms contain period furnishings and decorative elements that demonstrate the evolution of American design from the late 18th century through the early 20th century.
Tours of the mansion run Tuesday through Thursday, allowing visitors to explore the historical rooms and gardens while learning about Kentucky's governmental history.
The mansion's limestone columns were individually transported from Indiana and required specialized equipment to position them at the entrance during construction.
