Louisiana Governor's Mansion

The Mansion was designed by the architectural firm of Annan and Gilmer of Shreveport, Louisiana. The final construction cost for the building was $893,843.00. The inspiration for the exterior design was Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana. Like many plantation homes built between 1830 and 1860, Oak Alley was designed with a second story veranda. The mansion sits on an 8-acre (32,000 m2) parcel of land. The grounds include a tennis court, a swimming pool, a vegetable garden, and a fountain area.
