Gov. John W. Martin House

The Gov. John W. Martin House is a Georgian Revival building with symmetrical design details situated on a residential property in Tallahassee. The structure preserves its original appearance and maintains the characteristic features of early 20th-century residential architecture.

The house was built in 1933 and served as the residence of Governor John W. Martin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

The house reflects how Florida's wealthy governors chose to build their homes through formal Georgian Revival design elements that were fashionable among the state's political leadership during that era.

The house is located along Governor's Drive and is easily accessible from the main road. Visitors should check ahead about access conditions since this is a protected historic property.

The property connects to the historical route of the Hernando de Soto Expedition that passed through the area. This links the governor's residence to Florida's early Spanish exploration history.
