The Tea Room at the Holiday Chalet in Denver, CO is ideal for hosting an afternoon tea party.

Today's Victorian tea room was once Ida Lindsey's apartment from 1922 until her death in 1944. For the Bohm family this was once the parlor. In 1898 Baron Von Richtofen (great uncle to the Red Baron) laid in state prior to his funeral at Fairmont Cemetery.

 
Tea Grandma Ida was a woman of refined taste, and her hobby was painting bone china and creating more than 51 original patterns over her lifetime. (She also had a kerosene kiln in the basement).
 

 

The Ida Lindsey China Company sprang from the breaking of this bone china serving dish. After restoring this piece at the cost of $895, Margot Crowe; the grand-daughter of Ida, decided to reproduce the works of Ida Lindsey.

Ida Lindsey originally painted two tea sets and gave one of them to a dear friend in 1914. Last year the granddaughter, Nancy Williams, returned the teaset to Margot.

 

So enamored of this pattern is Crowe that she had tea sets made in China replicating Ida's pattern. You can now buy a tea set patterned after Ida's own tea service. Call for details.
