In December 1892, Henry and Hermene Hunze began construction of their dream home. Henry, a successful ice and coal merchant, designed a Victorian home based on several castles he remembered from his native Germany. The result is a truly untique turn of the century Victorian home, with 3 different second story front window designs.

The Hunze's raised four children in the home, which remained in the family until 1955. The home was eventually converted into three apartments for local college students. In 1985 Butch and Laura Stidham purchased the Hunze home and began an extensive renovation project.

This restoration which continued through its opening as a bed and breakfast in 1993, has recaptured the home's original beauty and detail. The home features original stained glass and woodwork, four working pocket doors, three bay windows and a lovely staircase. Ceiling stencils discovered under layers of wallpaper were reproduced on the new ceilings. The original pull chain commode still works in the downstairs bathroom. The lovely renovation resulted in the Bellevue Bed & Breakfast being designated as a Cape Girardeau historic landmark.

The Bellevue Bed & Breakfast offers all the Victorian charm and elegance of yesteryear while incorporating the many modern conveniences we have all come to enjoy.
