This home was built concurrently with construction of buildings for the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis.
In 1943 it was acquired from Emma Wilke by Allie & Bertie Becker under the somewhat unusual consideration of loyalty, friendship, love and $100. It has remained in the family since 1943.
The home was originally built as a duplex and was converted to a single family dwelling in 1990.
