- Description:
- The Old Governor's Mansion in Milledgeville (1838), designed by architect Charles Cluskey, is an example of Greek revival, an architectural style common throughout the state well into the 1850s. The mansion is now part of Georgia College and State University.
Photograph of the Old Governor's Mansion located in Milledgeville, Georgia, which served as the state's capital from 1807 to 1868. This is a three-story stucco-over-brick structure featuring a central rotunda and a massive Ionic portico. Four columns support a pediment framing the entrance to the mansion. It is considered one of the finest examples of Greek revival style in the nation. Construction on the mansion began in 1836 and was completed in 1838 or 1839. - Metadata URL:
