Saint Louis County Landmarks<\/p>\n

\u201cOakland,\u201d 7801 Genesta, Affton vic., 1854, George I. Barnett, NR<\/p>\n

\u201cOakland\u201d was the home of one of St. Louis\u2019 first bankers and millionaires, Louis A. Benoist. Benoist was the son of a pioneer fur-trading Canadian. In 1852 and 1853 he acquired 476 acres in southwest St. Louis County.<\/p>\n

In 1854, Benoist and his third wife, Sarah Elizabeth Wilson Benoist, had the home built as their country home. The Italianate house was designed by well-known architect George Ingham Barnett. The home became known as \u201cOakland\u201d because the land had many burr oak trees.<\/p>\n

Oakland is a towered stone villa constructed of limestone. The estate also contained several barns, a smokehouse, and servants\u2019 quarters. There was also a four-acre lake with a stone boat house. Half of the estate was purchased by the Lakewood Park cemetery in 1920. Oakland became the administration building and superintendent\u2019s house. The Affton Historical Society purchased the house and surrounding grounds in 1977. The house was restored under the guidance of William Bodley Lane.<\/p>\n

The house is now run as a museum by the Affton Historical Society.<\/p>\n
