Sanford F. Conley House

The two-story Italianate house displays a low-pitched mansard roof, arched doorway, deep bracketed eaves, and scalloped facings with rose brickwork throughout the exterior.

Built in 1868 by businessman Sanford Francis Conley, the residence remained in family ownership for over a century before the University of Missouri purchased it in 1980.

The house contained seven rooms on the first floor and five rooms on the second floor, representing the living standards of successful merchants in 19th century Missouri.

Located at 602 Sanford Place in the center of the University of Missouri campus, the building now serves educational purposes as part of the Museum of Art and Archaeology.

Archaeological surveys in 1986 revealed English teaspoons, jewelry pieces, and foundation remnants of the former servants' quarters beneath the property grounds.
