Bellevue, Kentucky, located in Northern Campbell County between Newport and Dayton, is home to three Bellevue Bed and Breakfasts. The area was once part of the hilltop property of General James Taylor whose home in Newport was officially called Bellevue. Bellevue was incorporated as a City in 1870. At the turn of the century, Bellevue was known for its beaches that were popular for swimming, canoeing and clubhouse dining. The Horseshoe Gardens, an entertainment facility that featured big name acts such as the Mills Brothers during the 1930s was destroyed in the flood of 1937. In early 2000, the Bellevue Beach Park was developed along the Ohio River that has a riverfront view of the Cincinnati skyline with outdoor concerts and a walking trail. Bellevue, Kentucky Bed and Breakfasts, are located in one of the largest historic districts in Northern Kentucky, that encompasses more than 1,100 structures that have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of these structures, as well as the Bellevue Bed and Breakfasts, are a well-preserved collection of high style Victorian dwellings. The historic districts are named after General James Taylor’s four daughters who married men by the names of Foote, Ward, Van Voast and O’Fallon. Historic homes along the tree-lined 200 block of Ward Avenue are excellent examples of Queen Ann brick T-plan dwellings with pressed tin ceilings and art glass windows. In fact, one of the few homes that was built in the City of Bellevue is made of pressed concrete block designed to resemble cut stone. This home, with its encircling wooden veranda, ionic columns and spindled balustrade, as well as other historic homes are located near Bellevue Bed and Breakfasts.
