Let’s back east into Tower Grove East from South Grand Boulevard on Arsenal Street from the still bustling intersection. We sadly lost the building in the center above, but at least it was replaced with a one story urban-scaled storefront instead of it remaining a parking lot.

It must have been something to see with all the people getting on and off streetcars at the busy transfer point.

I still miss the sushi place in the northeast corner building!

Arsenal Street’s housing is substantially more middle class than its neighbors to the north on Crittenden and Pestalozzi.

But the houses are still nice, even if they’re smaller.

Again, it’s obvious that houses were built in tracts of two or three, with just the front facade being individualized.

And of course, sometimes houses became businesses or doctor’s offices.

The capitals on these pilasters have long drawn attention from many people.

I’ve long had a hard time quantifying the style of buildings in Tower Grove East from 1900-1920; it’s a mix of all sorts of styles sort of thrown together.
