BSG is housed within The William Bell House, sometimes referred to as the “The Grande Dame of Beech Street”. It was built by Captain William Bell in 1889 as a wedding gift for his bride. William and his identical twin brother, James, were both successful river pilots who moved to Fernandina after the Civil War. The brothers both invested heavily in real estate, constructing several notable homes on the island.

The Bell House is noteworthy for its bay windows and two-story verandahs ornamented with Chippendale style balustrades. Marble mantels and fireplace facades imported from Italy, England and Belgium remain in the estate today. Each space has been meticulously restored to create a modern twist on a historic backdrop, while bringing together the best of the old and new through atmosphere and design.
