| Page Views: 141 Last Visit to Provo: January, 2005 | Hines Mansion Bed & Breakfast by la_beba - last update: Feb 28, 2005 |
To celebrate my husband's birthday, we went to the Hines Mansion. They offer a package with dinner at Chef's Table (one of Provo's best restaurants), and two tickets to Hale Center Theater. But you can also just purchase a stay at the B&B. It was just a wonderful price (to get the package) They have 9 very exclusive bedrooms: The Penthouse, Victorian Rose, Winter Dreams, Kitty Hines, Secret Garden, The Lodge, The Library, Seaside Retreat and Whispering Willow. It was a marvelous experience, highly recommended! Needless to say: we've gone back. First time we stayed at "Winter Dreams" room, second time at "The Secret Garden"

This Victorian Mansion was constructed in 1895 for Russell Spencer Hines with money acquired from his mining, business and Real Estate ventures. It is believed to have been designed by Utah architect Richard Karl August Kletting., who also created the Utah State Capitol according to historic records. The Mansion was built as a showplace during the recovery from a major boom-and-bust period in Provo's economic history. One of the first homes built for Provo's first generation gentry, Spencer and Kitty Hines Mansion is one of Utah County's most historical residential landmarks.
An Award of Merit was presented by the Utah Heritage Foundation to Douglas K. Hardy for his renovated of the structure between 1975 and 1978. During that three year period the first level wings were added. The cupola is a representation of the original - which was removed many years ago.
In November 1995, Gene and Sandi Henderson (whom are just fabulous, accomodating and extremely friendly: well, like most people in Provo!) purchased the Mansion and directed the remodeling of the structure which includes nine distinctive bedrooms, two-person jetted tubs, king and queen-sized beds and armoires with TVs. |
