"The Newbill-McElhiney House is a five-bay, fourteen room modified Federal-style house located at 625 South Main Street, St. Charles, Missouri. The southernmost three bays of the house are probably the original building constructed in 1836, while the appended two northern bays and possibly the second floor on the south side were added during the 1850's to create a nearly symmetrical house. The later additions were executed carefully to duplicate the original work, and upon examination the mortar line between the two portions can be observed." - National Register Nomination form

This federal style home is now used as a gift shop on lower level and also used as a residence.
