Crestwood city officials have a once-in-a-lifetime decision to make next week: Whether or not to pay to move a 200-year-old log cabin from Affton to the city-owned Sappington House in Crestwood, doubling that museum’s number of Sappington houses from one to two. The museum already has its namesake, the brick Thomas Sappington House, and supporters.
A pair of 100-year-old historic buildings would have to come down to make way for a new QuikTrip at the intersection of Butler Hill and Lemay Ferry roads if St. Louis County were to approve the plan, which has not yet reached the zoning stage. QuikTrip proposes a new store at 5040 Lemay Ferry Road..

A 200-year-old cabin is one step closer to possibly making the move to Crestwood after the Board of Aldermen approved an ordinance last week for an engineering firm to study what it would require to transport the cabin from Affton.
The 1816 cabin once owned by Joseph Sappington at 10734 Clearwater Drive is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Aldermen voted 6-2 April 20 to contract with consultant Case Engineering to review what would be involved in transporting and moving the house.
The study does not commit the city to actually moving the cabin to the Historic Sappington House Museum, 105 S. Sappington Road. The nonprofit Sappington House Foundation will cover the consultant fees which are not to exceed $26,000 using private donations the foundation has deposited with the city.
