Christmas at the Cupples House


This is just a tad late, but I wanted to post these.  In early December, we visited the Cupples House which is on SLU's campus for their annual Rooms in Bloom weekend.  Cupples House is one of the only castles in America and it sits in the heart of the Saint Louis University campus.  SLU bought it a few years after Samuel Cupples passed away.  The Victorian Mansion was completed in 1890 for $500,000 which would be roughly $15 million in today's currency.  There are a total of 42 rooms and 22 fireplaces in the home.
