Located at 3137 Whittier Street, the Chuck Berry House is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom red brick cottage once owned by legendary American singer, songwriter, and guitarist Chuck Berry. At the height of his music career in the 1950s, Berry was at the forefront of rock and roll. Interested in music from a young age, Berry would perform for the first time at Sumner High School in 1941.

In 1950, after years of working odd jobs to support himself and his wife, the couple purchased a small home in St. Louis. Berry and his wife would live in this home for eight years before moving to another suburb of St. Louis. While residing there, he wrote and composed many of his early hits, such as “Maybellene” (1955), “Rock and Roll Music” (1957), and “Johnny B. Goode” (1958).

In 2008, the Chuck Berry House was listed with the National Register of Historic Places. At the time of its designation, it was considered uncommon because Berry was still alive at the time. The home's interior still has all its original hardwood flooring, plaster, doors, and fixtures. The home’s layout is just as it was when Berry and his wife lived there. Tours of the home are not available, but onlookers are welcome to drive by or walk the neighborhood streets where one of St. Louis’s most notable residents used to roam.
