The Georgian Colonial-style home, completed in 1950 during Governor Sidney McMath's term, incorporated brick from the old Arkansas School for the Blind, which originally occupied the site, and has been the home of all Arkansas Governors. A bust of President Clinton, who lived there during the 12 years of his Governorship, is displayed just inside the grounds.
