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,
who is 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.
The Reagans have decorated with numerous
antiques, period furnishings and heirlooms,
to allow guests the opportunity to
experience
a bit of the Victorian era.

Come join us
in this 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 May through mid October.
Or just "sit a spell" in a
comfy rocker and
experience the sights and sounds of this
sleepy little Mississippi River town.

"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."

"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!"
