Chatillon-DeMenil House
Chatillon-DeMenil House, Greek Revival house in Benton Park, St. Louis, US.
The Chatillon-DeMenil House displays white columns, symmetrical windows, and architectural details characteristic of 19th-century Greek Revival design in the Midwest.
Built in 1848 as a four-room brick farmhouse by Henri Chatillon, the structure was expanded by Nicolas DeMenil in 1861 into a substantial mansion.
The mansion contains period furniture from 1830 to 1880, original ceiling medallions, marble mantelpieces, and the largest collection of 1904 World's Fair memorabilia.
Visitors can take guided tours Wednesday through Saturday at 11:00 AM, 12:30 PM, and 2:00 PM from March to December, with admission fees of $10 for adults.
The property sits above an extensive cave system, formerly known as Cherokee Cave, which contained prehistoric animal remains studied by paleontologists.
