Information provided by Mark Dodson:
The "Mini Mansion" was a gift to the Governor's Mansion. It was
purchased by a donor
in an a auction that was held by the American Lung
Association. The concept was to
have about 10 different
historic places from across the State in replica form to be
auctioned off.
Construction and design was provided by local artists, interior designers,
and
contractors, all material and labor donated. The "mini" Mansion sold for
about $11,000
and was donated to the Governor's Mansion for display.
They are now looking at moving
it to another select location where it will
be displayed and available to more people as part
of a tour of the
Governor's Mansion.
