Does anyone know? I found this while searching the internet but they still weren't sure. My guess would be a church.

In the city limits, the oldest surviving building is the Old Cathedral (completed in 1834). Nothing else around at this time in the central part of the old settlement is around and independent towns that were later incorporated into the city like ONSL and Carondelet weren't around. It is possible that there is some sort of a relic outbuilding somewhere that is as old or older than the Old Cathedral, but I haven't ever seen one offered up. More than likely, the outbuilding would be a wooden shack somewhere on the outskirts of the city that somehow held up.

The oldest manmade structure in St. Louis is the only mound still standing. Sugarloaf mound is just east of I-55 on the 4400 block of Ohio. It dates to around 800.
