State Drawing Room

This room is used for greeting official visitors and for posed photos with the Governor.

The rug is an exact replica of the original Aubusson Tapestry Weave made by Lacey Champion Mill of Fairmont, Georgia. The rug was added during Governor Zell Miller’s administration and many restorations in the room have occurred during Governor Perdue’s administration.

The gentleman in the portrait on the far wall is Robert Augustus Alston a Georgia State legislator from Decatur during the post Civil War period. He was regarded for his fairness during reconstruction and was shot tragically by a detractor in Atlanta. The lady is Lillian Henderson who was the director of Confederate pensions and records in Georgia.

Shag-rug Aeolis, Aeolidia papillosa

The shag-rug Aeolis, Aeolidia papillosa, a sea-slug or nudibranch, is a mollusc in the family Aeolidiidae. It ranges from as far north as Cook Inlet, Alaska, from central California, and it is found in low intertidal and subtidal zones. The shag-rug sea slug is not common in our area. They eat sea anemones such as Urticina crassicornis and Metridum senile. Their secretions serve to discharge the anemone's nematocysts before they start to take bites from the anemone's column. The Order Nudibranchia are carnivores and are often brightly colored, which serves to warn away predators. Some species apparently secrete sulfuric acid, which makes them distasteful to predators. Sea slugs are also hermaphroditic, both male and female at the same time.
