Built by wealthy wood merchant Samuel Cupples during the Gilded Age of the late 19th century, this mansion is a fine example of the opulence of the time. Designed by noted architect Henry Hobson Richardson, it is typical of his Romanesque styling. The home, now owned by St. Louis University, features 42 rooms, 22 fireplaces, an impressive collection of art, and Tiffany windows. |
