LA BELLE ÉPOQUE HISTORY
Designed and
built in 1893, La Belle Époque is a well-maintained example of the work of
Napa's most noted architect Luther M. Turton who designed many of the
buildings in Napa between 1876 and 1925. The house was built by Herman
Schwartz, a successful hardware merchant and community leader, for his
daughter Minnie who only occupied the house for less than four years before
her death. After remaining vacant for several years, the house was occupied
by the Eagle Cycling Club for use as a clubhouse. The Cycling Club had over
150 members and one of their most noted accomplishments was the construction
of one of the first cycling paths in California that ran from Napa to
Vallejo.
In 1903 the
Silva family, owners of the Napa Soda Springs Mineral Water company,
purchased the house for use as their private residence. The family lived in
the house until 1941 with their son Frank, who eventually became the
District Attorney of Napa County. Between 1941 and 1980 the house had a
succession of owners and in 1981 Blanca Semmler acquired the house and
converted it into La Belle Époque Bed and Breakfast Inn, which was one of
the first bed and breakfast inns in the Napa Valley.
