After two previous mansions had hosted the first family, George Ingram Barnett designed and built the current 66.5&#8242; x 66.5&#8242; square structure atop a bluff overlooking the Missouri River.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will certainly want to stop by and explore this beautiful three-story home and see the grand stairway which is carved out of walnut.
