Aspenhof was developed and built by Edmund Boyce. Boyce attended college in Colorado, spending his fair share of time on the slopes of the Rockies. It was there he spotted his first A-Frame.

When he came back home, A-Frames were still on his mind. Taking the A-Frame concept out of the mountains and into the St. Louis region was Boyce’s brainchild. With the help of an uncle, he built his first one... “It was sort of with an idea that I could sell more,” he said. On Memorial Day weekend in 1964, Boyce and his partners opened a new recreational development in Warren County called Aspenhof.

By 1974, when Aspenhof was fully developed and sold, they had completed 151 A-Frames. Most of those A-Frames remain at Aspenhof today. Next came Innsbrook, which also sold out. Innsbrook Estates and others followed.

Ed passed away in 2018 at the age of 83.
