Samuel Cupples, who in 1851 established the firm which became the largest woodenware company in the United States, built this home at 3673 Pine in 1890, about which time this photo was taken. The building is now St. Louis University's well known "Chouteau House." Pennsylvania Samuel Cupples came to St. Louis via Pittsburgh where he learned the woodenware business and in 1851 founded Samuel Cupples and Co. in St. Louis, eventually the largest woodenware house in the United States, and later, Cupples Station, the city's great shipping center. Thomas B. Annan, St. Louis architect, completed this house for Mr. Cupples in 1890 and he was living here in 1900.
