General Daniel Bissell House

General cake

The General Daniel Bissell house was built between 1812-1820. It's an example of the federal style of architecture and was continuously occupied by the Bissell family for 150 years. Daniel Bissell, who called this property Franklinville Farm, was important in the early military history of the St. Louis area. He commanded this brigade throughout 1814 and won a tactical draw at the small action fought at Lyon's Creek or Cooks' Mills, Canada, on October 19, 1814.

In 1815 he came back to St. Louis and started building the house.
