Alabama Governor's Mansion, Official residence and mansion in Montgomery, United States.

The Alabama Governor's Mansion is a white Neoclassical house at 1142 South Perry Street in Montgomery, built in 1907 for Robert Fulwood Ligon, Jr. and designed by Weatherly Carter. Its front has a Corinthian composite tetrastyle portico with a triangular pediment and dentil molding, recessed wrought iron balconies on the second level, and an Ionic porte-cochère to one side. Inside are 17 primary rooms and a double staircase from the entrance hall.

Alabama purchased the property in 1950 to create a new official residence for its governor, replacing an earlier building that had been used since the early 20th century. This move reflected the state's growth and the need for a more representative home for its chief executive.

The mansion reopened to tourists in 2003 after almost a decade closed, when Patsy Riley, wife of Governor Bob Riley, led the "First Lady and Friends of the Mansion" effort and raised private funds and donations, with no taxpayer money involved. The house was built in 1907 for Robert Fulwood Ligon, Jr., son of General Robert Fulwood Ligon.

The mansion reopened to tourists in 2003 after nearly a decade closed, funded by private donations raised by Patsy Riley's "First Lady and Friends of the Mansion" organization, not taxpayer money. The property occupies a full city block between South Perry and South Court Streets, enclosed by a wrought iron fence with octagonal guard houses at the main gates.

The grounds include a pool designed to match the outline of Alabama, along with tennis courts and gardens that fill the entire city block. This layout makes the outdoor spaces an unusual feature among governor's residences across the country.
