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