The Baert Baron Mansion with its beautiful red VeneKlasen brick was built by Dr. Daniel Baert in 1872. Truly this is a classical example of the rare French Italianate design of the Nineteenth century in Western Michigan. Nineteen beautiful made to order Romanesque styled arched beveled lead glass windows imported from Paris, France added in 1880 gracefully add to the mansion’s allure. A magnificent wrap-around porch gives the Mansion a feeling of warmth and grace as guests look at the marvelous bird bath fountain placed on the north side of the grounds over 139 years ago. The Mansion has over 4000 sq. ft. of living space that has volumes of buried stories that are hidden within its walls.
Exquisite original antique leaded stained glass windows and hard wood floors welcome you upon entry through the two massive oak doors that have stood the test of time.

Guests may use the peaceful wraparound porch to take
pleasure in the incredible flower gardens each morning
where they can sip rich coffee or tea or as a shady retreat
on the warm summer afternoons enjoying a fresh glass of
lavender lemonade.
