More than 117 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.
