The Sappington family was a large family in early St. Louis.[2] The patriarch, John Sappington, had seventeen children, although Joseph Sappington was not one of them.[2] Joseph Sappington was likely the cousin or nephew of John Sappington,[3][4] and he was one of the witnesses to John Sappington's will in 1815.[2][3]

The house is a two-story building that faces east and is originally made from logs.[2][3] However, the house has been clapboarded on the exterior.[2][3] Furthermore, the house had been whitewashed multiple times throughout its history, and plaster was placed over visible logs.[2] It is likely that the house was built in multiple phases.[2] The interior was renovated started in 1953,[2] and it was restored to reflect its original state.[2][3] The house has three log rooms that each have their own chimney.[2][3]
