Photograph of Number One Busch Place, c. late 1890s. The family home is at the left; the drive in the foreground leads to the front door. Number One Busch Place, the former Anheuser family property, was the Busch family’s primary estate. The brick-and-stone mansion stood out to casual passers-by and was decorated lavishly to maximize the impression of grandeur it made on visitors.
