Tower Grove House was built in 1849 and is open to the Public at the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Merchant, Henry Shaw's Mansion is a delightful place to visit and feel as if you're stepping back in time. The mansion was named Tower Grove House and built on Mr. Shaw's country estate.
We enjoyed touring and seeing the loveliness of this 1849 mansion.

The Stairs and Hallway
The Ladies Bedroom
The Gentlemen's Bedroom
On the self guided tour of the 1849 Tower Grove House which at one time belonged to Henry Shaw, we were able to enter the house through the front door. To the left was the Information Room where you could sit and watch a video about Henry Shaw and some details about the Estate. To the right was the Formal Parlour. In front of you, the Grand Staircase leading upwards to the two Bedrooms. We were able to see the Formal Dining room
and smaller informal Dining room.
We did not see the Kitchen and Bathroom.
The Basement was available which housed a Museum. I didn't go downstairs...wished I had. A room beside the Information Room has photographs and information about the house.
All in all....I enjoyed every square inch that I saw.
I could have stayed all day.
Hope you're enjoying the TOUR!
More tomorrow.

.Neat Features on the Beds.
I especially liked the bedding that both beds had.At the foot of the Gentlemen's Bed is additional bedding that rolls onto the bed pole. The pole actually rolls and is positioned at the foot of the bed for convenience so you can roll out extra bedding for additional warmth.
Neat feature.
Half Tester on the Ladies Bed.
Gentlemen's is a full Tester Bed.
