点评：Once my student docent, a Dawg of a Georgia football fan, became aware that I am a retired sports reporter, she couldn't wait to show off the Old Governor's Mansion in Milledgeville, Georgia. Located at 120 South Clark Street, on the campus of Georgia College and State University, it was built in 1839 and is considered one of America's finest examples of High Greek Revival architecture in the South. So much so, it was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture in 1973. The two-story house, which features an interior rotunda, is set on a manicured parcel of land, its street-facing sides lined by a brick retaining wall topped by a low white fence. The building is rectangular, built of stuccoed brick with a hip roof capped by a small circular cupola. The main facade faces west toward Clark Street and has a four-columned Greek temple portico projecting at its center. The portico is supported by smooth Ionic brick columns with granite bases and capitals. It supports an entablature and fully pedimented gable. The entablature is continued around the sides of the building with pilastered corners. Historically, the mansion was home to Georgia's chief executive from 1839 to 1868. During Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea, it was claimed as a prize when Sherman was headquartered in the building on November 23, 1864. Open from 10 to 4 Tuesday through Saturday and 2 to 4 on Sunday, Old Governor's Mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

翻译：我曾经的一名学生讲解员是乔治亚大学橄榄球队的狂热粉丝。当她得知我是一名退休的体育记者后，便迫不及待地要带我参观位于乔治亚州米利奇维尔的旧州长官邸。这座建筑坐落在乔治亚学院及州立大学校园内，地址为南克拉克街120号，建于1839年，堪称美国南部希腊复兴式建筑风格的杰出典范。正因如此，它于1973年被认定为国家历史地标。这座两层楼的住宅内设有一个圆形大厅，坐落于一片修剪整齐的空地上。临街一侧则由砖砌挡土墙环绕，墙顶还设有低矮的白色围栏。建筑呈矩形，由抹灰砖块砌成，屋顶为四坡顶，顶端还带有一个小型圆形穹顶。主立面朝西，面向克拉克街，中央部位设有一个由四根柱子支撑的希腊式神庙风格门廊。这些柱子为光滑的爱奥尼亚式砖柱，底部为花岗岩基座，柱头也采用花岗岩制成。它配有檐口及完整的山花结构。檐口沿着建筑物的四周延伸，转角处设有壁柱。历史上，这座豪宅在1839年至1868年间曾是佐治亚州行政长官的官邸。在联邦军威廉·特库姆塞·谢尔曼将军的“向海进军”期间，1864年11月23日谢尔曼以该建筑作为指挥部，并将其视为战利品。参观时间：周二至周六上午10点至下午4点，周日下午2点至4点。旧州长官邸于1970年被列入美国国家历史名胜名录。
