Walking through the door of former Alabama Governor John Patterson’s home one is immediately struck by the beautiful artwork hanging on the wall but with a few more steps one is immersed in a sea of politics, whether it be the composite photo of the Alabama Bar Association from many years ago or the giant portrait of John F. Kennedy which stares down the hallway.

One is quickly reminded of the scope and power of the politics of the once influential governor. Now retired from public service Patterson is not afraid to flex his political muscle and give his opinions on the future of Alabama and U.S. politics.
