Albert Bond Lambert House
Albert Bond Lambert House (also known as 2 Hortense Place) is a home in St. Louis, Missouri that was owned by American aviation benefactor, pharmaceutical company heir, and Olympic golfer Albert Bond Lambert. One of Lambert's first flight instructors was Orville Wright.
In 1926, a young Charles Lindbergh visited this home while looking for financial support for his proposed transatlantic flight. Lambert offered financial support to Lindbergh and encouraged others to do the same. In return for this financial support, Lindbergh's plane was named The Spirit of St. Louis. Furthermore, St. Louis' Lambert Airport was later named after Albert Bond Lambert.
The Albert Bond Lambert House is a red-brick and symmetrical mansion which has a two-story portico with columns.[1] The nearly 12,000 square foot Neoclassical-style home was designed by noted architect George W. Hellmuth and was built between 1902 and 1903.[2] It has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.[3] Before construction, its cost was estimated to be $45,000 (Error when using {{Inflation}}: |index=US (parameter 1) not a recognized index.).[4] This home was constructed just before the 1904 World's Fair. The King of Sweden also visited this house with the fireplace in the solarium apparently being a gift from the king.[5]
