Cabanne House

Cabanne House sits in a wooded setting near the Union Avenue entrance to Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri. The current Second Empire-style structure was completed in 1876 from plans drawn by architect James H. McNamara, and the site traces its history to 1819, when Jean Pierre Cabanne built the first brick farmhouse west of the Mississippi River here. Inside, the house features fourteen-foot ceilings, tall windows, decorative marble mantels, and mid-Victorian architectural details set against manicured grounds. The house is well suited for intimate wedding celebrations, bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties, corporate gatherings, and private parties. Events can take the form of family-style indoor dinners, cake-and-cocktail receptions, or outdoor tent dinners with dancing on the grounds.
