Cableland, Official residence in Hilltop neighborhood, Denver, United States.
Cableland is a mansion of about 14,000 square feet on multiple levels, with a grand room for 200 people, outdoor pools and a heated driveway. It was built on land subdivided from the grounds of the Shangri-La mansion, which Harry E. Huffman built in 1937. The postmodern structure serves as Denver's official mayoral residence.
Cable television executive Bill Daniels donated the property to Denver in 1998, along with a substantial endowment to establish it as the city's official mayoral residence. This generous gift created a dedicated space for the mayor's representation and civic functions.
Cableland was donated to Denver by cable television mogul Bill Daniels in 1998, together with a $4 million endowment, and is lent to non-profit organizations for special events and fundraising. The mansion keeps features from its earlier private life, among them a fire pole running down the centre of a spiral staircase to the master bedroom, elephant sculptures and a pink piano. A 2012 remodel modernized the decor.
The venue can be reserved by nonprofit organizations for fundraising events, making it a popular location for charitable functions. Advance reservations are recommended since availability is limited.
Despite being designated as Denver's official mayoral residence, no mayor has ever actually lived there. This gap between its intended purpose and reality makes it an unexpected chapter in the city's story.
