Named Best Bed & Breakfast in St. Joseph for 2026 and featured in Dwell, Shakespeare Chateau Inn & Gardens is one of Missouri’s most remarkable Gilded Age estates. Built in 1885 and set on nearly two acres along historic Hall Street, once known as Millionaires’ Row, this Chateauesque residence remains extraordinarily intact after more than 140 years. Inside, the home showcases 47 original stained-glass windows, hand-carved cherry, mahogany, oak, and walnut woodwork, ornate plaster ceilings, encaustic tile floors, period chandeliers, and fireplaces throughout. Among its most significant features is the rare Zuber panoramic wallpaper “Eldorado,” installed circa 1920, with examples of the same historic French scenic wallpaper found in notable settings including the White House. The property includes the grand main residence, a carriage house with three income-producing apartments, and an additional structure at 819 Hall Street offering potential for residential expansion or a future destination use, subject to zoning and approvals. This offering includes the residential real estate only. Business operations, furnishings, and personal property are available separately.
