715 6^th St.  

        The house may have been built by or for its first owner Wm. R. Baker, an elected Boonville Public Administrator (1876-80).  In 1889 it served as a town house for Capt. Charles E. Leonard, the wealthy and successful pedigree stock raiser and owner of Ravenswood Farm located 10 miles southeast of Boonville.  The 3 bays on the east are covered by an ornate two-story porch.  A frame balustrade above forms a porch for the second story entrance.  On the west is a hip roofed, one-story brick ell which appears to be original.  The residence sits on an embankment with a concrete retaining wall and faces east onto 6^th St.  At the northwest corner of the property is a large barn with a pent addition to the south which is shared with 711 6^th St.
