Preservation of the Boettcher Mansion

The magnificent Governor’s Residence at the Boettcher Mansion has entered its second century of helping to create Colorado history. Since 1908, this engaging red brick building has stood serenely in a neighborhood once referred to as Quality Hill. In 1959, when the Boettcher Foundation gave the property to the State of Colorado, it became the official residence of the Governor’s family.

Today the Governor's Residence at the Beottcher Mansion is a treasure that stands as one of our finest symbols for Colorado's state civic heritage.Years of stewardship have served as “stepping stones” to the current and expanded preservation efforts.
