IN % a J A quick spin through the aged residential area of town brings us to the Governor ' s Mansion, the official residence of the Chief Executive of Florida, tucked away among the stately spread of magnolia and oak trees. The mansion was completed in 1907 and was occupied by Governor Broward and his family at that time. This residence probably rates the title of Tallahassee ' s most- looked-at home.

' ■•- ' -» r»- V, £ We slow the horses down to enjoy the beauty of a typical Talla- hassee street lined with cool green oaks, whose grey beards of moss reveal their aged dignity. At the end of the hill we reach another Tallahassee landmark, the Episcopal Cemetery. Early history of the community can be untwined by a detailed reading of the tombstones. Two marble monuments always incur a great interest. These mark the graves of the Prince and Princess of Tallahassee, Achille Murat, nephew of Napoleon, and his wife, Katie, grand niece of George Wash- ington. Those early settlers who fled from France provided an air of romanticism and glamour in the small community of the ante-bellum period.

The old estate is one of the few Tallahassee homes that dates back past the Civil War. Made famous by Maurice Thompson in his book, A Tallahassee Girl, the house was built by Governor Richard K. Call and today the host and hostess of the mansion are Senator and Mrs. Leroy Col- lins. Mrs. Collins is a descendant of the Call family. r
