Kentucky's Executive Mansion

Kentucky's second governor's residence was built in a two-year construction project from 1912 to 1914 that cost $95,000, guided by Governor James B. McCreary in his role as chair of the Sinking Fund Commission. Patterned after Marie Antoinette's villa, the 25-room limestone mansion and its gardens have been renovated several times, and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It was dedicated to Margaret Lane in recognition of her work on the history of the Executive Mansion.
