Grant's Old Home in St Louis Appears in Descriptions
In St Louis near Tenth and Harton Streets a small wooden cabin linked to Gen Ulysses S. Grant stands amidst modern brick houses. The cottage, likely Grant's birthplace of his son Gen Frederick Grant, was highlighted by a local article and is tied to the Grant Cabin association plans to restore the site at Grant farm in St Louis county. The former owners, Mrs Philomena Hollweg, bought it in 1865 for 3026 dollars from the White family. A parallel note reports Mrs Straus, wife of the new commerce and labor secretary Oscar Straus, as a prominent New York Jewish social figure with a long marriage and diplomatic ties.
