My wife and I purchased The BEALL MANSION in November of 1996. The following month we took possession and began a massive restoration project. Upon completion of the first phase of that project we opened to the public in June 1998.

Sandy Belote

My wife, Sandy, is nothing less than a superwoman overseeing the restoration of the Mansion while at the same time taking care of the decorating, cooking, laundering, and many of the other day to day operations of the property.

Always up to a challenge, as a young home maker she built her own furniture, while today she makes the Lavender Scented Bath Salts provided for each guest bath and whirlpool. Martha Stewart look out!

Sandy’s loves include a good morning cup of coffee, entertaining, dancing, and rich, dark chocolate. She is also an avid gardener—and in the spring of 2001 successfully completed a Master Gardener course from the University of Illinois Extension Service.

James Belote

I am an executive of a family business in St. Louis and am in charge of special events and marketing for The BEALL MANSION. I also help out by giving tours and playing the role of butler. I enjoy history, floating, hiking, bicycling and satisfying my creative yearnings as a freelance writer.

Sandy and I share a common passion for fine wine, gourmet food, classic architecture, art, good music, children, animals, travel, anything of beauty and quality. . . and of course, for sharing our historic home with you—our special guests.

Please come and visit us soon.
