Martin Franklin Hanley built the Historic Hanley House in 1855. The farmstead is the oldest structure in the City of Clayton and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The restored home is today an historic house museum filled with original family furnishings, artifacts, and letters that together represent an honest portrayal of 19th century Missouri life.

  Another of the city's excellent, well-preserved historical homes. Unlike the opulent homes of the city's rich (the Campbell House and Cupples House), while the Hanley family was comfortable and well off by the standards of the day, this was a working farm house. One sees the differences in the level of grandeur, the presence of homey goods, as well as domestic implements. Also very moving is the slave quarter behind the house.
