Dickey House Bed and Breakfast

The Dickey House, a lovely and gracious Greek Revival mansion and now a Missouri bed and breakfast, was built at the turn of the century by Samuel N. Dickey, a prominent prosecuting attorney, and it remained in the family until 1970. As a Springfield area bed and breakfast, this majestic home invites you to step back in time. From the first glimpse of this massive mansion, with its three foot diameter columns and intricate woodwork on the widows walk directly above the beveled glass front entrance, you feel that you have entered an era that has long since passed. After your arrival you may wish to enjoy the outside lawns and gardens, studded with oak trees and benches. Or perhaps sit and enjoy the view of the garden from the swing or rocking chairs on the porch. Or perhaps retreat to one of the seven guestrooms, each with a private bath. You'll step into rooms tastefully filled with antiques and reproduction furnishings. Your comfortable bedroom and modern bathroom offer a variety of distinctive touches that let you know you are indeed a special guest, and each room comes equipped with a TV and VCR.
