The Antoine O'Neille House in Ste. Genevieve, built around 1810, is believed to have been the home of one of Missouri's first silversmiths. Preservationist Tim Conley is convinced First Presbyterian Church, which is pictured next door, wants the home to fall apart so it can use the site for a parking lot. The church insists that's not the case and is asking for patience and time to restore the house.
