HISTORY
of
the WB PETTIBONE MANSION
Here's a snapshot of what this old girl looked like in the early
years. She was new
in 1889.
The damage to the lattice around the base of the porch in this photo
was repaired years ago,
but once again deteriorated as time passed. In 2007, Norm removed
each panel
and we dismantled
each of them
board by board, so that we could replace rotten wood slats and
framing.
Three of the panels are curved.
That project was quite a chore. Thankfully they are all
refurbished now.
Our research has divulged that exterior colors in this photo were
Gray and White. |
Ladies' Parlor
More than 115 years ago, Wilson B Pettibone,
a wealthy lumber baron and banker,
also known as one of Hannibal's greatest
philanthropists,
built this Victorian jewel
for his wife Laura.
Mr Pettibone felt it
fitting
to use many of his fine woods
to grace the
foyer,
parlors, dining room,
library, and
staircase.
The woodwork is ornate
and original as are
the Rookwood fireplace tiles,
stained glass
windows and gas/electric light fixtures.
With comfort in mind, the Reagans have decorated
with numerous
antiques, period furnishings
and heirlooms,
to allow guests the opportunity
to
experience
a bit of the Victorian era.

Gentlemen's
Parlor
Come join us
in this Lumberman's wonderfully
restored Victorian masterpiece.
During warm months,
enjoy the flowering tropicals,
perennials
and annuals,
as you stroll the verandah.
Continue to the Garden Gazebo,
Koi Pond, and
waterfall.
Beware the fleeting jewels,
as resident hummingbirds zip...dive
to and from
Judy's feeders,
from late April through early October.
Or just "sit a spell" in a
comfy rocker
and
experience the sights and sounds of this
sleepy Mississippi River town.

The following remarks were taken from our various room journal entries.
"Thank you
for your warm hospitality. Monty said your breakfast was the
best
he has ever had at a B&B.
We will tell our friends what a
treasure we have found in Hannibal."
Monty & Ruth, MO ~

"We have
stayed in over 55 B&Bs in 12 states, and yours ranks in
the top 10 percent!!
We have a rating system for B&Bs we visit,
and you are definitely one of our FIVE star B&Bs."
Bob & Nancy,

"You have
a treasure here. Few Queen Annes in the midwest are as
charming,
and probably none as well furnished."

"The
hospitality the two of you offered us was among the best we have
received anywhere.
You have one of the nicest B&Bs in over 70
to date. Still a FIVE star establishment!
We will
certainly want to come visit again."

"The home is
absolutely delightful, extremely well decorated and has a very
romantic
wrap-around porch
that makes for a great evening of relaxation in the rockers!
You will enjoy Hannibal, but staying at Reagan's Queen Anne will
be the icing on the cake!"
Dale & Sandy, IN ~ 8/2004
"What a
fabulous place to go to just bask in the beauty of this splendid
home.
The hosts Judy & Norm are grand folk. Breakfast is served so
elegantly & tasty
it is fit for a King & Queen!
Reagan's Queen Anne is an experience
everyone should have the
opportunity to enjoy for themselves.
I can't wait for a return visit!"
Norman & Chris, IL ~ 11/2004

be back."
