Welcome to the historic Jameson House, now a bed and breakfast in Fulton, Missouri. The Jameson family lived in this home from initial construction of the "old part" of the house in the late 1850s through the addition of the "new part" around 1885.

The house is believed to have been designed by Missouri architect, M.F. Bell, a resident of Fulton and partially known for incorporating a "bell shape" into many of his homes. The Jameson family was in "livery" and later opened one of the first Ford dealerships in the country.

You'll feel like royalty as you enter the Grand Hall with its magnificent parquet floor and burl walnut archway. In the adjoining parlor filled with Victorian antiques, a cozy fireplace beckons in winter and tall bay windows bring in summer's cheerful light. Gentlemen will marvel at the unique architecture of the house, while ladies delight in its vintage appeal.

Room Descriptions 

Miss Jamie's Study Beautiful maroon, forest green, and golden jewel tones color this room, delightfully decorated with musical and writing themes. Charlotte Jameson, the last in a long line of Jamesons to live in the house, taught voice and music at nearby William Woods University--and your host Cate, is a writer and writing a book on the history of the Jamesons. You'll spend a restful night in the engraved antique bed with its cozy feather mattress, warmed by the glow of the fireplace, after basking in the solarium bath's spa tub for two. Explore shelves lined with books and treasures, from a real gramophone to delicately tuned music boxes to a vintage typewriter. Regular rate is $169. December through January all room rates less $20.
