Well, for crying out loud, this is America, so we decided to do it the American way.<br \/>\nWe like football and big trucks and loud fireworks and giant fast-food soft drinks we can\u2019t finish. Since as of posting time not a single governor returned our calls to skirmish NFL style, we decided to look at which houses are the coolest\u2014i.e., the biggest\u2014because, well, America.<br \/>\nWe looked at governors\u2019 mansions in 44 states (some states no longer have one, so they were immediately declared lame and tossed out of the running) and compared their total square footage.<br \/>\nNow you can call up your friend in another state and say \u201cHa! My Governor\u2019s mansion is bigger than yours!\u201d You\u2019ll be glad you did.<br \/>\nHere\u2019s which states (and behemoth homes) came out on top.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Illinois Executive Mansion: Lincoln Loved Big Hats, His State Loves Big Houses<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"Illinois Executive Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"Illinois Executive Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Katherine Johnson<\/div>\n<p>Location: 5th and Jackson St., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/springfield-il\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Springfield, IL<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 50,000 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimated value: $5.4 million<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/il\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Illinois<\/a> governors have been calling this mansion home since 1855, and those of you who are actually paid attention in history class will know that this means, and yes, President Lincoln himself visited this mansion.<br \/>\nYou can still visit the Lincoln bedroom, and see a bust of him that he actually posed for! Where else can you get that? The mansion hasn\u2019t been the governor of Illinois main home for several years, but it\u2019s still used occasionally.<br \/>\nNot only is this house the largest on the list, but it\u2019s a good 20,00 square feet bigger than number two. Illinois, you win this one.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Maryland Government House: Down By The Bay, Where The Big Houses Grow<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"Maryland Government House - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"Maryland Government House - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Maryland GovPics<\/div>\n<p>Location: State Circle, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/annapolis-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Annapolis, MD<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 38,000 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimated value: $7 million<br \/>\nBuilt in the Georgian style, this Annapolis home has been the residence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maryland<\/a>\u2019s governors since 1870. Bucking the trend of other governor\u2019s not living in their proper mansions, Maryland\u2019s current governor, Martin O\u2019Malley, and his family actually live in this historic home.<br \/>\nFamous visitors have included the likes of Mark Twain, Queen Elizabeth, and Sugar Ray Leonard. In 1990, a $169,000 (bought with public funds, not taxpayer money) Victorian fountain was installed in the mansion\u2019s gardens. When even the fountains cost that much, you know a place has class.<\/p>\n<h2>3. North Carolina Executive Mansion: Raleigh\u2019s Regal Mansion Is The Real McCrory<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"North Carolina Executive Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"North Carolina Executive Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/3.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user NAVFAC<\/div>\n<p>Location: 1 East Edenton St., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/raleigh-nc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raleigh, NC<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 30,000 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimate value: $8.4 million<br \/>\nThis Queen Anne Victorian mansion was completed in 1891, and is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/nc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Carolina<\/a>\u2019s third such mansion built in Raleigh. North Carolina\u2019s mansion is also one of 13 states that allow inmates (after a screening process) to participate in a residence work program to help with maintenance and upkeep on the mansion.<br \/>\nIn 1973 an Executive Mansion Fine Arts Committee was formed to help preserve the mansion and assist in picking out art and other objects to don the mansion\u2019s interior. Think of them like the Indiana Jones Committee of North Carolina.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Pennsylvania Governor\u2019s Residence: Susquehanna River Waters Sprout Pennsylvania Flowers<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"Pennsylvania Governor\u2019s Residence - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"Pennsylvania Governor\u2019s Residence - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/4.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Doug Kerr<\/div>\n<p>Location: 2035 North Front St., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/harrisburg-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrisburg, PA<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 28,500 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimated value: $3.5 million<br \/>\nThirty-two rooms. Let that sink in for a bit. That\u2019s 31 rooms you can dedicate to your video game collection, and still a room for your laundry.<br \/>\nThis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pennsylvania<\/a> mansion, which calls the banks of the Susquehanna River home, was finished in 1968, making it one of the newest mansions to crack the top 10.<br \/>\nIn 2000 the mansion received a nice \u201cgreen\u201d touch with an expansion of its gardens, which host over 15,000 visitors every year. The Penn&#8217;s Woods area is a special showcase that displays historically important plants that are native to Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Colorado\u2019s Boettcher Mansion: The Mile-High Mansion<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"Colorado\u2019s Boettcher Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"Colorado\u2019s Boettcher Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/5.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikipedia user Jirodrig<\/div>\n<p>Location: 8th Avenue and Logan St., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/denver-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Denver, CO<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 26,000 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimated value: $7.9 million<br \/>\nThis 26,000 square foot home has been used by various governors of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorado<\/a> since 1960, though the house was original built in 1908 (a 2006 renovation added a visitor\u2019s center and gardens) before it was donated (and eventually) accepted by the state. Mr. Boettcher was also a fan of model ships\u2014two of which still make port in the mansion.<br \/>\nIf you could be a fly on any wall though, this mansion just might be the one. President Truman was known to play piano here, and many other presidents, including Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson, all set foot here.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Louisiana Governor\u2019s Mansion: The Tallest Chocolate Chip Cookie Mansion<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"Louisiana Governor\u2019s Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"Louisiana Governor\u2019s Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/6.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Ken Lund<\/div>\n<p>Location: 1001 Capitol Access Rd., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/baton-rouge-la\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baton Rouge, LA<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 25,000 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimated value: $2.5 million<br \/>\nThis southern Baton Rouge-located 25,000 square foot mansion was built in 1963 under Governor Jimmie Davis, who only got to live in it for a few months before his term ended. Governor Jindal now lives there with his family, and his children are the youngest to ever live there. Not too shabby a house to grow up in, right?<br \/>\nNot only is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/la\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louisiana<\/a> home to the sixth biggest mansion in the country though, this mansion is also the tallest in the nation, coming in at 450 feet tall. Take that, other states!<br \/>\nOf course, the mansion\u2019s menu includes famous Louisiana dishes such as gumbo and jambalaya. The mansion is also always stocked with chocolate chip cookies; Governor Jindal\u2019s favorite.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Georgia Governor\u2019s Mansion: A True Georgia Peach Of A House<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"Georgia Governor\u2019s Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"Georgia Governor\u2019s Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/7.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikipedia user Etittle1978<\/div>\n<p>Location: 391 West Paces Ferry Rd., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/atlanta-ga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atlanta, GA<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 24,000 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimated value: $8.5 million<br \/>\nThree floors. 30 rooms. 30 columns of 24-foot high California red wood. 18 acres. Atlanta.<br \/>\nOf course, we\u2019re talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/ga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgia<\/a>\u2019s own governor\u2019s mansion, home to Governor Nathan Deal and his wife, Sandra, the eighth governor to live in the mansion since it opened in 1968.<br \/>\nThe inner decorations of the house were put together by a 70-member fine arts committee while the house was being built, and it includes state-owned museum-quality collection that doesn\u2019t change from governor to governor. Art isn\u2019t partisan, after all.<\/p>\n<h2>8. West Virginia Governor\u2019s Mansion: Everybody Knows The West Is The Best<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"West Virginia Governor\u2019s Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"West Virginia Governor\u2019s Mansion - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/8.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikipedia user Enrichyourmind<\/div>\n<p>1716 Kanawha Boulevard East, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/charleston-wv\/\">Charleston, WV<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 21,000 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimated value: $840,000<br \/>\nTake that, Virginia! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/wv\/\">West Virginia<\/a> represent!<br \/>\nWest Virginia\u2019s mansion placed eighth on our list, with 21,000 square feet dedicated to the living space of your top state elected official.<br \/>\nAnd no, your eyes aren\u2019t deceiving you. The foyer walls of the mansion aren\u2019t wallpaper as they might appear, but are painted original designs. The ballroom also include a white marble mantle from an old Irish Castle. Now that\u2019s some lucky (and royal) history.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Wisconsin Executive Residence: This Wisconsin House Is On Fire<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" title=\"Wisconsin Executive Residence - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" alt=\"Wisconsin Executive Residence - Biggest Mansion of Governor\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/12\/governors-mansions\/images\/9.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikipedia user Lacrossewi<\/div>\n<p>Location: 99 Cambridge Rd., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/madison-wi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Madison, WI<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 20,777 sq. ft.<br \/>\nEstimated value: $6.6 million<br \/>\nAlways wanted a home that has 13 bathrooms?

Originally a private home before being sold to the state in 1949, this lakeside residence is something else.<br \/>\nFireplaces? Is seven of them enough to light your fire? We would imagine so.<\/p>\n<h2>10.

Also, it\u2019s quite a green machine, being the first building in New York State to receive a LEED Gold Certification.<\/p>\n<h2>Silver Medals<\/h2>\n<p>Your state didn\u2019t make the list?

Estimates do not take into account any art or galleries included in the mansions, nor do they factor in furnishings or grounds, so don\u2019t get that checkbook out quite yet.<br \/>\nAll mansion sizes came from <a href=\"http:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Residences_of_the_American_governors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ballotpedia<\/a>, except where otherwise noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embed Gallery These Are The 10 Biggest Governor\u2019s Mansions In America By Movoto Real Estate How was the Movoto Real Estate Blog able to narrow down a list of the top 10 governors\u2019 homes in the country?
