	Elgin Cottrell House The Hezekiah Elgin House (c.1845) at 209 South First Street in Clarksville, MO has the honor of being one of the oldest houses on record in the City of Clarksville and one of a few remaining houses on the River Front. The Elgin family history in Pike County began with William Elgin who in 1816 bought a 300 acre Spanish Tract said to extend north and south from Clarksville and west for three quarters of a mile. William's son, Hezekiah S. Elgin came to Clarksville in the early 1800's. He opened a trading post and built one of the first roads between St. Louis and Clarksville. He also built the Elgin Opera House and Hotel which were both destroyed by fire in the late 1800's.
