Heaven Sent Bed and Breakfast is one of the remnants of "Millionaires Row," an impressive block of grand homes, built and owned by some of Hannibal's wealthiest and most influential citizens. Built in 1858-1864, it became the townhouse of John & Helen Garth, childhood chums of young Sam Clemens who remained lifelong friends of the writer. The Italianate architecture is reminiscent of an Italian country villa with the cupola on top providing a view of the Mississippi River. The house is on the National Historic Register.
Several of the original wood mantles with marble insets remain in the home. Beautiful windows throughout the home, original stain glass and leaded glass still remain today. Large pocket doors in the Parlor and Library as well as built in bookcases filled with books. This home is filled with history, being built during the civil war. Mark Twain attended a dinner party hosted by Helen Garth. The home was part of The Underground Railroad during the Civil War, and Kurt and Brenda Warner stayed here when it was operated as The Fifth Street Mansion in 2001.
We offer cold soda and bottled water 24 hours. You can enjoy coffee in your room before breakfast or in the evening before bed if you like. Hot tea of apple cider is always available as well. We are a Family Friendly Bed and Breakfast, please remember that our home is not baby or toddler proof, so we ask that you do keep a close eye on your little one.
