The Kennon house is St. Louis' truest example of carpenter gothic architecture🔗. It's distinctive features including its “lancet style” windows, board and batten siding, and intricate scrollwork have made the house the subject of numerous articles and other media interest🔗.
The Kennon House has been a fixture in the Carondelet Neighborhood for nearly 170 years.
The Kennon House has been an active residential property for most of the last 170 years. While it retains its original historical features, it had also been modified and modernized in many ways.
