Fargo Mansion Inn Description:
The Fargo Mansion Inn is a classic example of "Queen Anne" architecture built in 1881. It originally served as the private residence of Enoch J. Fargo, a second generation descendant of the Wells Fargo Stagecoach and banking family from Hudson, New York.
The Fargo Mansion remained in the Fargo family as a single family home until 1945, when the home was purchased and converted into a five family apartment building. The home remained this way until 1981 when foreclosure began its downward spiral of disrepair. By 1985, even though the home had been placed on the National Registry of Historic Places, the property became an eyesore for the community. It was completely boarded up. Devoid of all working mechanical systems. No heat. No water. No electricity. It was a true nightmare. BUT, not all was lost.
In July of 1985, Barry Luce and Thomas Boycks purchased the home and began to review the process of decay and to breath new life into this elegant old structure. The sole purpose to transform this home into an elegant, romantic, Victorian bed & breakfast. Opening in June of 1987, the Fargo Mansion Inn has become a destination for first time bed and breakfast guests as well as a return retreat for many over the past 18 years. Please come and enjoy. We await your arrival!
