COLORADO GOVERNOR’S MANSION FEATURES WHITE HOUSE CHANDELIER AND MODERN CHRISTMAS TREE
The Modern Christmas Tree is featured in the Governor’s Mansion this holiday season. Three of the mid-century modern trees are in the window under a famous chandelier from the White House.
“I was recently granted the opportunity to display three of my Grandpa’s trees at the Governor’s Mansion. The tree is next to a chandelier from the White House, gifted to the Governor’s Mansion by the White House where the chandelier resided under many presidents.

The Colorado Governor’s Residence, also known as the Cheesman-Boettcher Mansion began as a landmark private home, was transformed into a display of old-world elegance and remains one of the west’s true treasure houses as it approaches its second century. Part executive residence, part repository of museum-quality furnishings and objects d’art, the house is a meeting place for the past and the future. By fulfilling this potential, Colorado itself is reflected, as the state unfolds from the hearts and dreams of its pioneers to become a truly cosmopolitan crossroads.
“I set the trees up with my Mom, Grandpa’s only Daughter. I sent my Mom a message on my way home. “Can you believe Grandpa’s trees are being displayed there? He would have never believed it.” It was a proud moment for both of us.
