Gov. Mike Parson and his wife will move out of the
Governor's Mansion next month to make way for a $3.3 million renovation.

The work will include upgrading the
heating and cooling system, fixing longstanding plumbing problems and restoring
interior services. The work should take about a year.

The Parsons will move to existing housing at the Missouri National Guard
compound east of Jefferson City.

The mansion's first occupant was Gov. Benjamin Gratz Brown in 1872. The first
floor includes a 17-foot-high Great Hall, two parlors, a library and a divided
dining room. It has 13 bedrooms on the second and third floors.
