Rockcliffe Mansion is located in Hannibal, Missouri (USA) and was built in 1898 by John J. Cruikshank, Jr, a descendant of Scottish immigrants, whose fortune was founded on lumber. He erected the residence on West Bird Street. It came to be acknowledged as the most imposing, beautiful and costly residential structure in that part of the state of Missouri. "By reason of its location on a high, rocky eminence, overlooking the entire city [and the Mississippi River], it [was] termed 'Rock Cliff' [later known as "Rockcliffe"], and is one of the many attractions of the city invariably viewed by strangers and tourists visiting Hannibal." It is located in the Maple Avenue Historic District.Plan to see Rockcliffe Mansion (Tours) and other attractions that appeal to you using our Hannibal online day trip planner.

Very cool mansion. We were lucky enough to have the current owner as our tour guide. It's amazing that a home from that time had such lovely details. You have to see to appreciate it!

What a lovely home! This was nearly demolished some years ago, and the current owners are slowly but surely getting it back in shape. Our guide, Juan, was very well informed, and you could easily tell his heart is in his work. Put this on your "Must See" list when visiting Hannibal, Missouri!
