[Block 58B]

This frame house, unusual in Colonial St. Louis, was built about 1770 by M. Rollet, Sr. It was owned by Charles Sanguinet in 1804. Today this property is encompassed by Memorial Drive and the parking lot for the Old Cathedral.


This modern view was taken from the steps of the Old Cathedral looking south toward the parking lot. In 1804 the view would have been taken from the rectory for the church, and you would have seen the Rollet House to the right on the corner of Third and Walnut Streets. In the distance the back of the Guittard House would have been visible on Elm Street, at the far end of the parking lot.
