[Block 37C]

This vertical log house was owned by Patrick Lee and built about 1766.

The area of today's south reflecting pond on the grounds of the Gateway Arch was once the site of the Patrick Lee House. Extensive landscaping was performed on the Arch grounds in the 1970s, which changed a traditionally flat plateau which sloped toward the Mississippi River into grassy grounds with undulating hills and two large reflecting ponds. The landscape of the modern Arch grounds bears no resemblance to the way the land looked in colonial times or during
the city's heyday in the 19th century.
