The Florida Governor?s Mansion is a historic official residence in Tallahassee, Florida. It is the second governor?s mansion of the state, after replacing the one built in 1905.
Completed in 1956, the Florida Governor?s Mansion is fashioned after the Hermitage, Andrew Jackson?s historic residence in Nashville, Tennessee. It was designed by Marion Sims Wyeth, who was a well known architect and has already done a great deal of other notable homes, like the Mar-A-Lago. The house is also nicknamed as ?The People?s House of Florida? and is composed of 30 rooms, 15,000 square feet of living space on a 1.5 acre tract of land.
Unlike other official residences in the country, the Florida Governor?s Mansion is open for tours. You will need to arrange a schedule, however.
