Ladies' Parlor
More than 125 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.

Golden Oak
Dining Room
Join us
in this Lumberman's wonderfully
restored Victorian masterpiece. In July,
2015, the original Tiger Oak floor was exposed
and refinished in the dining room. During warm months,
enjoy the flowering tropicals,
perennials
and annuals,
as you stroll the verandah.
Continue to the
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.
