Colorado Governor's Mansion, Government residence in Capitol Hill, Denver, United States.
The Colorado Governor's Mansion is a three-story Colonial Revival house with red brick walls and white wooden trim in Capitol Hill. It features a west-facing portico with fluted Ionic columns and a Palm Room addition that contains marble details and glass elements.
The house was built in 1908 for the Cheesman family and later purchased by the Boettcher family. In 1959 it became the official residence of Colorado's governor.
The residence displays collections gathered from travels across Europe and Asia, reflecting the interests of its former residents. Visitors can see how these personal treasures are arranged throughout the home's rooms.
The house offers free guided tours throughout the year where visitors can explore the rooms and their historical furnishings. It is best to plan ahead since visiting hours are limited and larger groups may need to arrange a time in advance.
