Florida Governor's Mansion, Official residence in Tallahassee, United States.

The Florida Governor's Mansion is the official residence of Florida's governor in Tallahassee. The building sits on a small estate on North Adams Street and contains 30 rooms across multiple floors, with some serving as state rooms and others as private living areas.

The current building was completed in 1956 and replaced an earlier 1907 structure that had deteriorated. Architect Marion Sims Wyeth designed the new mansion in Colonial Revival style, connecting Florida's political life to architectural forms from an earlier era.

The mansion gets its name from its role as the official home of Florida's governor, linking state power to everyday residential life. Visitors can see rooms filled with antique furniture that shows how earlier generations lived and how the executive branch presented itself to Floridians.

Half-hour guided tours run year-round, led by trained volunteers of the Governor's Mansion Docent Program, which also welcomes school groups. All tour requests are coordinated by the mansion curator, so arrange a visit in advance.

Across the street from the mansion, in the park that forms its entrance, stands the bronze sculpture Florida's Finest. It shows five life-size children and a dog playing Follow the Leader atop three logs of a fallen tree. Governor Lawton Chiles and his wife unveiled it in April 1998, dedicated to Florida's children.
