Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park, State historic mansion in Sacramento, United States.

The Leland Stanford Mansion spans 19,000 square feet across four stories, featuring Second Empire architecture with mansard roofs and ornate exterior details.

Built in 1856 for merchant Shelton Fogus, the mansion was purchased by Leland Stanford in 1861 when he became California's eighth governor.

The mansion serves as California's official reception center, hosting diplomatic meetings and governmental functions while preserving 19th-century furnishings.

Guided tours of the mansion operate daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, except during official state functions and governmental events.

The property underwent a $22 million restoration that required 14 years to complete, resulting in the exact recreation of its 1872 appearance.
