Eugene Field House (St. Louis)
The Eugene Field House is a historic home and museum in St. Louis, Missouri. It was the home of Roswell Field, an attorney for Dred Scott in ''Dred Scott v. Sandford''. Field's son, Eugene Field, was raised there and became a noted writer of children's stories. Threatened with demolition, the house was transferred to the St. Louis Board of Education in 1936. It is now a museum known as the Eugene Field House & St. Louis Toy Museum.
==History==
Built in 1829, the house is the only survivor of a group of similar houses called Walsh's Row.
A plaque on the home was dedicated in 1902 with the help of author Mark Twain, who announced it as the birthplace of Eugene Field. Field's brother Roswell, however, noted that he was born elsewhere. Twain brushed the fact aside, telling him, "Officially and for the purposes of the future, your brother was born here." The inaccurate plaque remains.〔Cuoco, Lorin and William H. Gass (editors). ''Literary St. Louis: A Guide''. St. Louis: The Missouri Historical Society Press, 2000: 74. ISBN 1-883982-35-9〕 The plaque reads: "Here was born Eugene Field, the Poet, 1850–1895".〔Sorby, Angela. ''Schoolroom Poets: Childhood, Performance, and the Place of American Poetry, 1865–1917''. Durham, NH: University of New Hampshire Press, 2005: 126. ISBN 1-58465-458-9〕 The house was preserved by the Eugene Field House Foundation beginning in 1936 and it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2007.〔Holden, Greg.
