Shared from @mo_homes . DeBaliviere Place, built in 1906. From a 2010 @stltoday article: . “This impressive home was built in 1906 by St. Louis architect J.B. Legg. Oil millionaire William Cullen McBride purchased the house in 1908, and thereafter it became known as the party house on [Washington Terrace]. McBride held fantastical parties here, including his daughter's memorable 1921 debutante ball, ‘Night in Venice.’ Guests were greeted by gondoliers to transport them across a huge man-made, lighted moat. The three-story mansion is made up of 25 rooms, totaling 11,000 square feet. In records dating from 1910, it's noted that a staff of 10 servants ran the house. Today, their original living quarters, including one marked 'sewing room,’ are used for storage.” . #mo_homes #debaliviereplace #63112 #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #stl #stlouis #stlouismo #saintlouis #explorestlouis #stlouisgram #instlgram #missouri #visitmo #missouri_photos #historichome #houseportrait #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #houses_phototrip #thisplacematters #latergram, #BrickStory, #oldhouselove #thisoldhouse #architecture, #housesofinstagram, #architecturaldesign #architecturedaily #architecturedetails #instarchitecture #architecture_view #architecturealways #designdetails .
