Right off North Jefferson Avenue I spotted this house, the last one on the block, isolated from the rest of the St. Louis Place neighborhood from the busy thoroughfare on the east (construction signs for the new NGA say “watch for trucks entering and leaving highway”–how apropos to the speeds people drive) and the Sensient factory on the west.

But I stopped and enjoyed the detailing of the house, which is still beautiful even though it has been sitting here like this now for many years.
