Vaile Mansion, Victorian mansion in Independence, US

The Vaile Mansion features a three-story central tower, intricate woodwork, stained glass windows, and detailed plaster moldings throughout its grand structure.

Built in 1881 for businessman Harvey M. Vaile at a cost of $150,000, the mansion became a prominent social center in Jackson County, Missouri.

The mansion exemplifies Second Empire architecture and contains period furnishings that reflect the lifestyle of wealthy American families in the 1880s.

Located at 1500 North Liberty Street, the mansion functions as a museum offering guided tours that showcase its preserved Victorian-era rooms and decorations.

The property operated as a sanatorium in 1908 and later served as both a nursing home and a spring water bottling facility.
