A home built by a self-made man who became a well respected, wealthy businessman and very prominent in the early city affairs of St. Joseph, Missouri. Armstrong and Eliza called Beattie Mansion their home for just 26 years but for over 100 years after, it was a home to unwed mothers, orphans, pregnant prostitutes, drug addicts in rehabilitation and the elderly.
