Campbell House Museum

DOWNTOWN. Built in 1851 in Lucas Place, the city's then-ritziest neighborhood, this three-story townhouse was home to the family of Robert Campbell, an immigrant entrepreneur and one of the state's wealthiest men during his life. Following a $3 million restoration, it has been returned to its high Victorian glory, full of family possessions and artifacts. Replica textiles, original lighting fixtures, authentic furniture, and lots of decorative arts create a scene of century-old opulence, offering a glimpse into St. Louis's early days.
