St. Joseph is known for the start of the Pony Express and the end of Jesse James, and Patee House played a role in both.
Patee House is St. Joseph’s only National Historic Landmark. It has been listed by True West magazine as one of America’s Top 10 Western Museums in 2008, and it is one of 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die.
Built in 1858 as a luxury hotel, Patee House served as the Pony Express headquarters from 1860 to 1861. During the Civil War, the Union Army occupied the building, using it as their Provost Marshal’s office and holding war trials in the ballroom. It is one block away from the home of infamous outlaw Jesse James, where he was shot and killed by Bob Ford. After his death, the James family stayed and were interviewed in the hotel.
Patee House Museum features two full floors of exhibits. Inside Patee House, you can climb aboard an 1860 train and ride the vintage “Wild Thing” carousel. The museum also houses an 1877 railroad depot, stagecoach, cars, trucks, fire trucks, wagons, buggies and carriages, Jeeps, a racecar, horse-drawn hearses and a real gallows, a blacksmith shop, dressmaker’s shop, model railroads, antique furniture and toys, a wing with Western art by artist George Warfel, and a wing designed to look like the Streets of Old St. Jo in the 1860s-1880s.

Tootle’s Opera House, Part 1
A lithograph of Tootle’s Opera House published in Campbell’s Gazetteer of Missouri, 1874.
Milton Tootle was born in 1823 near Chillicothe, Ohio. He moved to Savannah, Missouri, in 1842 and relocated to St. Joseph seven years later.
During the Gold Rush, Tootle became one of the city’s leading merchants—supplying emigrants bound for California. He went on to establish dry goods houses in St. Joseph, Omaha, Sioux City, and Council Bluffs. His fortune accumulated quickly.
In personal appearance, Tootle “was a gentleman of commanding and prepossessing presence.” He dressed immaculately and was rarely seen without his trademark a top hat, frock coat, pressed trousers, and kid gloves.
Tootle, in addition to being one of St. Joseph’s wealthiest and most fashionable citizens, was also the city’s first patron of architecture. As one local newspaper reported, a number of the city’s “most imposing and costly business houses have been erected by his enterprise.”
Tootle had a grand vision for St. Joseph. Over a period of five years, he began purchasing a series of lots on the southeast corner of Fifth and Francis streets. After the final parcel was acquired, the forty-eight-year-old wholesaler set his plans in motion. In the fall of 1871, he began building a new temple of the arts—an opera house to rival those in Boston and New York.
To design his opera house Tootle originally selected Patrick F. Meager. Meagher’s qualifications, and Tootle’s reasons for hiring him, are unknown.
Tootle was a hands-on client and one of his biographies stated, “His success in life was due to the care with which he superintended and directed the minutest details of his business and the constant and close attention he gave to everything connected with his numerous enterprises.” The opera house that bore his name was no exception. Tootle oversaw and often managed the day-to-day construction personally.
Meagher was a relative newcomer to St. Joseph and, up to that point, had only one major, local commission: the St. Joseph Cathedral. An architect incapable of executing his client’s vision never lasts long and Meagher’s lack of construction experience (superintendence) quickly proved problematic. Tootle eventually fired him and W. Angelo Powell received the commission.
Powell devoted “his time in the designing of the interior and exterior…in all its minute details, preparing full-size drawings for the finish of the various parts of the building. Work on the project took just over one year.
As the opera house neared completion, it sparked the curiosity of St. Joseph’s residents. Just days before the inaugural performance, one of the local newspapers reported:
The progress of workmen is hampered because scores of citizens are trying to get into the building to examine the beautiful structure. Admission must be denied to all.

The old St Joseph Central Police Station sat empty for many years after the city had built a new one downtown. Greg Filardo purchased the old station and stores his highly collectible items within. The History Channel’s TV show American Pickers visited Greg in August 2, 2010 – this is the video that was produced
Local TV commercials created by KQTV 2 in 1979. KQTV’s in-house ad agency produced and wrote these spots and often used people working at the station as actors! Half the people on staff showed up sooner or later…didn’t have to pay then actors’ fees. This selection was directed by Gregory Gutenko, except for the one with the guy in an easy chair with a beer watching a car dealership ad on TV because the guy is played by Gutenko.
