G is for Governor's Mansion

This home is used for the residence of the person holding the title of Governor of the state of Alabama, and his family. The home was built in 1907 for a very prominent Montgomery family. It was bought by the state in 1950, to be used as the Governor's Mansion.

    I hear Bob and Patsy have done a lot to refurb the mansion. That is a gorgeous shot with that blue sky. They should pay you for it!

    Yes--they have opened it up for tours by appt. I may try to do that. I hear they have a swimming pool in the shape of the state of AL there!

    Thanks for the compliment! I took many pictures of that mansion to find one I was happy with!!
