We were amazed about the number of people that knew the answer to our Streetscape question. Thank you all for your participation! Patrick was the fastest this time, and he described the Eugene Field House accurately.
Congratulations! Next pic coming soon.
It’s the Eugene Field House at 634 S. Broadway. Originally built as a home in 1845 and the birthplace of Eugene Field in 1850 (for whom the museum is now named for), it was opened December 18, 1936 as the first historic house museum in St. Louis. The Museum has also been named a City of St. Louis Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This house was Eugene’s boyhood home, and during their residence here his father Roswell M. Field served as the Attorney who took Dred Scott’s freedom suit into the Federal Courts, leading to the infamous Supreme Court decision in Scott v. Sandford.
