In Search of Cragwold continues to be my most popular post on Saint Louis Patina, judging by number of comments. Just this week, I received another informative comment that sheds more light on the story of this fascinating house. Just goes to show the Lemp family is alive and well both biologically and in the common memory of St. Louisans.

Not sure if you were aware, but Cragwold was recently listed on the NRHP. There is a ton of info and some nice pictures on the nomination form. http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/feature/weekly_features/Cragwold.pdfI found this out through the flickr account for the National Register http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=36222865@N07&q=cragwold&m=textThe link to the NRHP was from a wikipedia entry for Cragwold which someone recently created http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cragwold
