Online Highways Home > Missouri > St Louis City Map with Features Samuel Cupples House at St Louis University In 1888 wealthy St. Louis entrepreneur Samuel Cupples commissioned the prominent architect Thomas Annan to design a magnificent mansion that would speak of Cupples' business success. The architect adapted the style of Henry Hobson Richardson and designed a three-story home in purple Colorado sandstone complete with limestone gargoyles and elaborate architectural details. It exists today as one of the rare examples of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture in St. Louis. At an original cost of $500,000 ($15 million in today's currency), Cupples House was acquired by Saint Louis University in 1942, and restoration of the house to its original splendor began in 1970. The 42 rooms, 22 fireplaces and elaborate interior make Cupples House a visual feast for visitors to freely explore each gallery and view the collection of five centuries of fine and decorative art.
