~The Campbell House Dining Room Table~
Eloquently set in Saint Louis.
Welcome to fine Dining at the Saint Louis Campbell House Museum in the Formal Dining room.
Campbell House is open to the public to tour and see first hand the fine example of Saint Louis Victorian Charm.
Built in 1851, the first house in the elegant Lucas Place
neighborhood, the Campbell House was the home of renowned fur trader and entrepreneur Robert Campbell and his family from 1854 until 1938. The museum contains hundreds of original Campbell possessions including furniture, paintings, clothing, letters, carriages and unique set of interior photographs taken in the mid- 1880s.
CHARM of the Gilded Age.
~Virginia Campbell's Dress~
One of Virginia's outstanding dresses she wore to visit the President of the United States in.
Though this is blurred, I wanted to share an actual photo taken around 1885.
After viewing the Saint Louis Campbell House Museum in a magazine I hoped to see it one day. Was so glad I actually toured her in person. The tour guide, Dennis was wonderful and full of knowledge about this fine museum. This was my opportunity to step back in time. I wish I could just stand in a room all alone and take in the details of the day. Maybe sit at the Dining room table and admire the features of the room. Next time I hope to drag my Husband along with me.
Blessings,
