Missouri, Moniteau County, California
![]()
The domed octagonal cupola, domed semicircular portico supported by curved brick columns of Corinthian order, 24-paned windows and fanlighted front door lend architectural interest to this classic revival-styled building completed in 1868. What is now Moniteau County was in St. Louis County when Missouri Territory was formed in 1812. It became a part of Howard County, 1816, Cooper County, 1818, and Cole County, 1820. It was organized as Moniteau County in 1845. The word "Moniteau" is a French derivation of the Indian word Manitou meaning the "Great Spirit."
