A true jewel of the City of Cape Girardeau, the historic Glenn House allows visitors to follow a pathway back in time. Restored rooms depict life around 1900, reflecting an earlier Cape Girardeau society. In 1883, Edwin Branch Deane designed the Glenn House for his daughter, Lulu Deane, and her husband, David A. Glenn. Mr. Glenn, a Cape Girardeau merchant and banker, occupied the home with his family until 1915. Around 1900 the Glenns extensively remodeled the residence by adding the curved veranda and updated the kitchen and baths to include hot water heat and electric lighting. On the National Register of Historic Places. The house is open September 19th through November 1st, Saturday and Sunday 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. For more information about the Historic Glenn House visit their website. |
