History

The Sappington family was a large family in early St. Louis. [2] The patriarch, John Sappington, had seventeen children, although Joseph Sappington was not one of them. [2] Joseph Sappington was likely the cousin or nephew of John Sappington, [3] [4] and he was one of the witnesses to John Sappington's will in 1815. [2] [3]

The Joseph Sappington House is one of five pioneer houses in the Crestwood area, and was the last to be nominated on the NRHP. [2] These houses were built in 1820 or earlier. [2] The house was built around a minor tributary of Gravois Creek, and is located about one mile southeast of Crestwood, Missouri. [2]

Architecture

The house is a two-story building that faces east and is originally made from logs. [2] [3] However, the house has been clapboarded on the exterior. [2] [3] Furthermore, the house had been whitewashed multiple times throughout its history, and plaster was placed over visible logs. [2] It is likely that the house was built in multiple phases. [2] The interior was renovated started in 1953, [2] and it was restored to reflect its original state. [2] [3] The house has three log rooms that each have their own chimney. [2] [3]
