ABOUT
North Carolina Executive Mansion
The North Carolina Executive Mansion, known as the “people’s house” is a Queen Anne style residence designed by Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan and his assistant Aldophus Gustavus Bauer. The 19th-century mansion’s spacious entrance hallway is ninety feet long with sixteen-foot ceilings, visually divided by the fluted Corinthian columns. The columns were added in the mid-1920s, replacing earlier Victorian Romanesque Ionic columns. A designated Raleigh Historic Landmark, the mansion features ornate and historically rich ballrooms, libraries, and parlors. Once a sea of mud, groups will enjoy seeing the beautiful and lush gardens at the mansion that were brought into existence by First Lady Dorothy Martin. The mansion is open for student, scout, homeschool, and camp group tours by appointment.
