Hannibal Garden House Bed and Breakfast, Hannibal, Missouri

Located in the Historic District of Downtown Hannibal. The Garden House was built in 1896 by Albert Wells Pettibone, Jr., son of the founder of the family lumber businesses: the Hannibal Saw Mill Company and the Hannibal Sash and Company. The family’s love for natural woods is still evident throughout each of the House's rooms. His brother built another Queen Ann home around the same time just two doors north. The family eventually sold the House to Charles H. Trowbridge, of the Duffy-Trowbridge Stove Manufacturing Co. which in 1905 was “Hannibal’s Most Important Home Industry.” In the 1920’s Charles’ son, Charles Albert, lived here until his new house on North Street was completed. The subsequent owner was Will Griswold, founder of the furniture store still in operation on South Main. The House is rich in history with plenty of old photos and artifacts of the area and era to tell its interesting stories!

Guests have the rule of the house in the Garden House’s two parlors (historically, a gentlemen’s and a ladies'), two foyers (downstairs and upstairs) and formal Iris dining room, historic front porch area. All our bedrooms are appointed with Euro featherbeds, pillows and comforters, triple-sheeted high thread count linens, soft, subtle cotton lounging robes, Wi-Fi accessible.
