"The Robert Henry Stockton House at 3508 Samuel Shepard Drive, originally Lucas Avenue, is a distinguished St. Louis example of Romanesque Revival architecture designed in 1890 by Barnett & Haynes with alterations and an addition from 1900 by Barnett, Haynes & Barnett. The original portion of the two-story house features a sophisticated program of smooth, rough-faced and carved limestone set off by roofs and side gables of red slate. The 1900, two-story addition to the rear is of red brick, an alteration from that date to the original house created a bold, two-story bay that encloses an open porch. Although the present condition is fair, the exterior and significant interior features are still remarkably intact."
