Illinois Governor's Mansion
Illinois Governor's Mansion, Official residence in Springfield, United States
The Illinois Governor's Mansion features Italianate architecture with ornate cornices, decorative brackets, and a modified I-shaped layout extending from front to back.
The mansion, completed in 1855, stands as one of the three oldest continuously occupied governor's residences in the United States and the oldest in the Midwest.
Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin D. Roosevelt attended various social gatherings and public receptions at this mansion.
The second floor contains a private seven-room apartment for governors, though residence is not mandatory, while the first floor serves as a museum open to visitors.
A 2015 renovation funded by private donations earned the mansion a LEED Silver certification from the US Green Building Council for environmental sustainability.
