Prairie View (Crestmead) is a plantation house built in 1859 by John Taylor in Pleasant Green, Missouri. The Prairie View plantation is a private residence and the current owners are Robert and Ann Betteridge. The Betteridge family have owned Prairie View since 1903 when Robert Betteridge's grandfather William Betteridge bought the house and legally changed the name from Prairie View to Crestmead. Prairie View entered the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 because of the unique Italianate/Greek architecture and contribution to local commerce and agriculture of the region. The plantation utilized slave labor from the time of its completion until the end of the Civil War.[2]
