Interview Q&A

The mansion was built as a wedding gift in 1902 and 1903. My wife and I purchased the property in December of 1996 and after extension restoration opened in the middle of 1998.

Although we are best known as one of the finest Greater St. Louis bed and breakfast and boutique hotels, The BEALL MANSION is also the perfect venue for weddings and receptions from two to one hundred and small corporate meetings and retreats. We also offer narrated historic tours of the property by appointment.
