The Lemps brewed the first lager in St. Louis, using caves under the property to keep it cold, and were briefly one of the great brewing fortunes in the country. Four members of the family killed themselves between 1904 and 1949, three of them in this house. Prohibition finished the brewery and the plant sold at auction for a small fraction of its worth. The house is a restaurant and inn that leans hard into the rest of it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
