St. Louis: Last remaining Indian mound is for sale, listed at $400,000

With an outdated kitchen and living space that measures only about 900 square feet, the modest house at 4420 Ohio Street isn't your typical $400,000 listing. It's what lies beneath the home that excites lovers of St. Louis history, or, in this case, prehistory.

The house sits on Sugar Loaf Mound, the city's last remaining link with the native people who lived here centuries before 1764, when Auguste Chouteau and a band of Creoles landed at the river's edge.

There once were dozens of these earthen structures in St. Louis, but all save Sugar Loaf were cleared in the name of progress.
