The Governor's Residence at the Boettcher Mansion
400 East 8th Avenue
Denver, CO 80203
Ralston House is fortunate to have Mrs. Jeannie Ritter on its Board of Directors. She hosted the September 24th event to benefit Ralston House at this elegant house, known fondly as "Colorado's Home."
Built in 1908, the house has served as home to Colorado's sitting Governor and family since 1959. The 2006 renovation of the original Carriage House, and additions of the Tebo Visitors Center and Viki and Jack Thompson Gardens, have brought this stately home to a new level of beauty and service to the people of Colorado.
The Residence is open free-of-charge for regularly scheduled tours and special public events. Non-profit organizations, government offices, corporations and individuals may use the Residence or Carriage House, for a fee, to host private events.
