Baumhoff, George W. (1856-1941).
Papers, 1900-1950. 5 boxes
George W. Baumhoff was the general manager of the St. Louis Transit Company. He bought
land near Valley Park, St. Louis County, circa 1902, and his family moved to a house on the
property in 1911. He bought an additional 300 acres a few years later. The tract of about 450
acres was called Treecourt Farm, a fairly literal translation of the name Baumhoff in English.
When drilling for oil in 1930, Baumhoff came upon an artesian well of cold sulphur water where
he built a pool. After his death on April 21, 1941, his family began disposing of the property.
Legal, business, and personal papers relating to property owned by George W. Baumhoff and
family between Big Bend Road and the Meramec River in St. Louis County. The files document
the record of title to the land and the way it was sold in more than 30 parcels by the family after
the death of George W. Baumhoff in 1941.
