809 Hall St Saint Joseph, MO 64501

Named Best Bed & Breakfast in St. Joseph 2026 and featured in Dwell magazine, the Shakespeare Chateau Inn & Gardens is one of the Midwest's most architecturally significant Gilded Age historic residences and one of the most remarkable properties in the state of Missouri. Built in 1885 and set on just under two acres along the city's historic Hall Street corridor once known as Millionaires' Row, this Chateauesque estate has changed hands only a handful of times in over 140 years and remains extraordinarily intact. The craftsmanship encountered inside is simply without peer: 47 original stained-glass windows, hand-carved woodwork in cherry, mahogany, oak, and walnut, ornate plaster ceilings, encaustic tile flooring, period chandeliers, and fireplaces throughout. Among the home's most internationally significant features is the rare Zuber panoramic wallpaper "Eldorado," installed circa 1920. A museum-quality French scenic wallpaper whose counterparts are held in settings including the White House. The property unfolds as a true multi-building estate: a grand main residence, a carriage house with three income-producing apartments, and an additional structure at 819 Hall Street offering a compelling canvas for residential expansion or a future destination use, subject to zoning and approvals. This price conveys the residential real estate only and does not include business operations, furnishings, or personal property, which are addressed separately.
