Built in 1974, this Creve Coeur home is relatively new—at least by St. Louis standards—but it houses an important piece of the city's history. In the late 1760s, St. Louis founder Pierre Laclède shipped his library cabinetry from France to St. Louis by way of a long journey up the Mississippi River. The cabinets were purchased at auction in the 1960s and later installed in this home, which was largely designed to house the library. The home's interior spares no cost and boasts a marble staircase, cathedral ceilings, an elevator, 11 bathrooms, and eight fireplaces. Four of the six bedroom suites include sitting rooms. The 5-acre property also includes a pool and carriage-house apartment. The home was most recently listed for sale in February 2016; it's currently pending contract.
