Governor's Mansion
The Governor's Mansion is the official home of Georgia's 81st Governor, Sonny Perdue, and his wife, Mary. The Mansion, a three floor, 30-room, Greek Revival style home built in 1967, stands on approximately 18 acres in northeast Atlanta. It was designed by Georgia architect Thomas Bradbury and officially opened on January 1, 1968.

	Lester Maddox was the first governor to live there, followed by Jimmy Carter, George Busbee, Joe Frank Harris, Zell Miller, Roy Barnes, and now, Sonny Perdue.
The current Governor's Mansion property once belonged to Robert Maddox, who owned a large English Tudor home on the site. A fire destroyed a large part of the house and Mr. Maddox sold the property to the state. The remainder of the home was demolished and the current Governor's Mansion was built on the site.
