GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION ROOM
The Governor's Reception Room is used by the
Governor for entertaining distinguished guests. The
color scheme for its furnishings and decorations was
worked out by the architect of the building and is
one of the most harmoniously furnished rooms in
any public place. The rug is 22 x 48 feet and weighs
1,350 pounds. The lace curtains are hand made,
requiring the entire time of one woman for six
months to make one pair. The draperies around
the windows are inlaid with pure gold and trimmed
with pure gold lace, braid, and fringe. The tapestry
is an exquisite specimen of embossed silk embroidery.
The chandeliers are made of Utah gold and silver
trimmed with cut glass. The mural paintings are
by Paul Schettle, a noted American artist. The
total cost of the furnishings of this
of this room
$ 65,000.
