Among the first buildings constructed at the Confederate Home of Missouri were the small frame houses of Cottage Row, three-room cottages on both sides of the road that provided independent living for veterans and their families on lots 100 by 200 feet, where large vegetable gardens and fruit trees were common. The Daughters of the Confederacy furnished the first four cottages at a total cost of $395.05 and were permitted to name them in honor of Missouri Confederate generals John S. Bowen, William Y. Slack, Mosby M. Parsons, and Henry Little. The ladies of Knox County, Mo., in recognition of their contribution, were given the opportunity to name a fifth cottage, which honored Gen. Martin E. Green. Of the original cottages, only one survives and now serves as the site administrator's residence. The chapel at the end of Cottage Row was built in 1892 by the ladies of Lafayette County at a cost of $1,200, and preaching services were regularly held there. In 1913, it was moved to a more central location to accommodate an aging resident population, and sixty-five years later it was moved again to its present location, which approximates the original. The Perceptor Xi Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority was instrumental in this effort. Missouri's Confederate Home Chapel is one of only two remaining Confederate chapels in the United States, the other being in Richmond, Va.
