Botanical Avenue

Posted on May 14, 2018 by Chris Naffziger

I don’t photograph the Shaw neighborhood very often (amazingly, the last post is from December of 2016), because most of the east-west streets are blocked off, and my methodology of documenting areas of the city start by happening across interesting… Continue Reading →

Falstaff Plant No. 10, Revisited Yet Again

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Chris Naffziger

Update: Restoration work on the wall above commenced in 2019. I wish someone with vision and a lot of capital could find a use for the old Falstaff Plant No. 10; it has a great location, history, a cave(!) and… Continue Reading →

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Chris Naffziger

Members of the Griesedieck family have told me there are dozens of their relatives alive and well in St. Louis, and I just discovered a whole bunch more of them buried at Calvary. This cluster is across the way from… Continue Reading →

Joseph “Papa Joe” Griesedieck Grave, Bellefontaine Cemetery

Posted on April 3, 2015 by Chris Naffziger

For whatever reason, and not known for certain, Joseph Griesedieck, the founder of Falstaff, is buried in a separate plot with other family members away from the “main” family plot. Interestingly, as far as I can tell, none of the… Continue Reading →

Falstaff Plant No. 10, Revisited

Posted on February 6, 2015 by Chris Naffziger

I love the old Falstaff Plant No. 10 over on Shenandoah, Lemp and Gravois. It sits forgotten, right in plain sight. I also find it sort of interesting the half dozen or more owners and names that have occupied these… Continue Reading →
