Designed and built in 1893, La Belle Epoque is a well-maintained example of the work of Napa's most noted architect Luther M. Turton who designed many of the buildings in Napa between 1876 and 1925. The house was built by Herman Schwartz, a successful hardware merchant and community leader, for his daughter Minnie who only occupied the house for less than four years before her death. After remaining vacant for several years, the house was occupied by the Eagle Cycling Club for use as a clubhouse. The Cycling Club had over 150 members and one of their most noted accomplishments was the construction of one of the first cycling paths in California that ran from Napa to Vallejo.
In 1903 the Silva family, owners of the Napa Soda Springs Mineral Water company, purchased the house for use as their private residence. The family lived in the house until 1941 with their son Frank, who eventually became the District Attorney of Napa County. Between 1941 and 1980 the house had a succession of owners and in 1981 Blanca Semmler acquired the house and converted it into La Belle Epoque Bed and Breakfast Inn, which was one of the first bed and breakfast inns in the Napa Valley.
