This image is believed to be the first courthouse in St. Louis. It is also known as The Bienvenue House. This house stood on the northwest corner of Third and Plum streets in St.Louis. Built in 1786 and demolished in 1875, the 20' x 25' house originally had a gallery on all sides and probably a tall pavilion roof. This site is now part of the Gateway Arch grounds.
The Old St. Louis Courthouse - often referred to as the "Dred Scott Courthouse" for its role in the Dred Scott litigation.
