Kentucky Governor's Mansion, Governor's residence in Frankfort, Kentucky.

The Kentucky Governor's Mansion stands as a stately Beaux Arts structure featuring symmetrical facades, stone detailing, and architectural elements inspired by the Petit Trianon at Versailles.

Completed in 1914, this mansion has served as the official residence for over twenty-five Kentucky governors and earned listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

The mansion hosts official state functions, ceremonies, and receptions, serving as a symbol of Kentucky's governmental traditions and political heritage within the state capital.

Located at 704 Capital Avenue in Frankfort, the mansion is not currently open for public tours, though visitors can view its exterior from publicly accessible areas.

The mansion's design draws direct inspiration from Marie Antoinette's summer retreat in France, making it one of the few American gubernatorial residences modeled after French royal architecture.
