Gorgeous Bed And Breakfast Hour South of Rochester Has 7 Toilets!

This 1895 Saint Ansgar, Iowa home has been a Bed and Breakfast / Tea Room business, and you can keep that going. Or, if you have a lot of kids, they'll love the 5 bedrooms and 7 1/2 bathrooms and a jacuzzi that looks like it's knit out of wool! And all for less than $400k!

See? That looks like a wool jacuzzi cozy! Dodie Wilkins CENTURY 21 Preferred

Seven and A Half Bathrooms?

Right? I'm not sure how many are original to the home, but it's very mansiony, so maybe most of 'em. I imagine the builder said, "Look, I can start building it tomorrow Mr HighFancyHat, what'll it take for you to sign on the dotted line?"

Mr. HFH - 7 and a HALF bathrooms.

Builder - But it's only you and your elderly wife in the house!

Mr. HFH - So? I like to have a water closet handy as the needs may arise suddenly forthwitch.

One of the 7.5 in the house. Dodie Wilkins CENTURY 21 Preferred

Builder - Witch?

Mr. HFM - Wich...what???

Builder - The 4th Witch.

Mr. HFM - Oh, ignore that. Just James Rabe trying to pad the content of this story so it hits at least 300 characters.

From the Blue Belle Inn Website -

"Built in 1896, the interior of this Queen Anne Victorian is highlighted by fireplaces, wood floors, tin ceilings with ornate moldings, and eight foot maple pocket doors.
Leaded glass, stained glass and crystal chandeliers set in bay and curved windows pockets create a shimmering interplay of light and color.

Events at the Inn include concerts, murder mysteries, horse-drawn sleigh rides, quilting, cooking, craft workshops, and various other good times throughout the year.

Error!

I was wrong about who it was built for. Not Mr. HighFancyHat, but for banker Robert C. Lubiens (1862-1939), born in Wisconsin, married Alice M DeLaney, the daughter of Charles and Leah Delaney (duh!).

"They had two daughters; Irma Virginia Lubiens who married Sherwin Kleinwort and Naomi Minnie Lubiens, who never married." And "One of the organizers of the telephone company and it's first treasurer." (Source)

It is amazing what you can find on the internet machine.
