It's a stately building, and the park just adds to its lovely outdoor space.

Plus I always smile driving into downtown from Colorado Blvd. My friend Bea, who is 84 years young these days, helped me learn to navigate the streets when I first moved to Denver from Pueblo! Once she was bragging to Wanda, another co worker who was going to lunch with us that I was learned these streets quickly and we were laughing and chatting and flying past the Governor's Mansion, next thing I know, Wanda is deadpanning "Anne, it's the state capital! You missed our turn!" We had such a good laugh having to circle back and go to our destination a few blocks in the other direction! Thanks for helping me remember that memory!

I so enjoyed your lovely guided tour of this impressive and historic mansion. I especially like the sunny Palm Room, with its beautiful tree and wonderful windows!<br /><br />Have a terrific Tuesday!<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-11531728148756308442015-01-08T10:32:23.429-05:002015-01-08T10:32:23.429-05:00The mansion is exquisite.

The mansion is similar to the Governor's Mansion in St. Paul - probably built around the same time (ours maybe a little later). I am glad you are feeling better. The Twin Cities is apparently the third largest hub for the flu! Everyone we know has been hit by it. Paul and I have just had sniffles thus far - maybe because I don't work with kids anymore and work at home - it seems to have passed me by. Of course there's three more months of winter.... Wishing you and your family the loveliest 2015!<br />Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601656778586008081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-90456515638020621662015-01-07T19:28:15.532-05:002015-01-07T19:28:15.532-05:00It is a beautiful old building.
