The Bell House, with its striking corner presence at 132 East College St and South 6th St, this turn-key wedding venue and bed & breakfast is a seamless blend of history and hospitality. Offering 3 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, this property is more than just a venue—it’s an experience. Included in the sale is the grand 4,188 sq. ft. event space, where countless celebrations have taken place, and the charming 1,253 sq. ft. caretaker’s cottage, a private retreat with 1 bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms.
Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, ensuring a seamless transition for the next owner. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, draperies, and high-end linens and towels from 1888 Mills, along with an exquisite collection of antique and modern dishware, glassware, and event essentials. Restored wrought-iron patio furniture adds character to the outdoor spaces, perfect for intimate gatherings or grand receptions.
The heart of the venue—the kitchen—features a stunning 1958 Magic Chef gas oven with six burners, two ovens, a griddle, and a broiler, complemented by modern appliances including a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and popcorn maker. The wet bar is fully equipped with an under-counter refrigerator, commercial ice maker, pitcher filler, and glass rinser, with the current inventory of liquor included in the sale. A thoughtfully designed laundry area with a front-load washer and dryer, hand sink, and a 3-station sink supports both hospitality and potential restaurant operations.
Beyond the tangible assets, the sale includes all necessary business and liquor licenses, along with a comprehensive suite of intellectual property—B&B price lists, wedding packages, a business plan, vendor contact lists, and marketing guides. With a competitive offer, the seller will also provide one year of advertising on The Knot, ensuring continued visibility in the wedding market.
The caretaker’s cottage comes with all kitchen appliances and a washer/dryer, though personal belongings and furniture within the cottage remain with the seller unless otherwise agreed.
This is more than an opportunity to own a venue—it’s a chance to step into a business with a rich history and an established reputation, its an invitation to become the curator of its next chapter of celebrations.
