The home's original owner, Dr. Charles Bell, worked with legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, but the project halted after Bell died mid-construction.
Wright had put together an entire plan for the house; however, his designs were never realized, leading to architect Charles Erwin King's involvement instead.
The design maximizes views from the bluff, overlooking the St. Louis skyline, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a floating gazebo enhancing nature.
The property reflects more of King's design choices than the original plans by Wright, with historical plans archived at the Belleville Historical Society.
