Under a plan up for discussion at the Crestwood Board of Aldermen next week, the city might move a historic log house to Historic Sappington House, where it would be preserved for future generations.
In what Historic Sappington House in Crestwood is calling an “unparalleled opportunity,” the new owner of the Joseph Sappington house, a log cabin built in 1816, Jim Freund, has offered the building to the city on the condition that the city relocate it. It is proposed to move the two-story log house from 10734 Clearwater Drive in Affton to Historic Sappington House Park, 1015 S. Sappington Road in Crestwood by an Aug. 1 deadline.
