This building is interesting; it has been rehabbed into a house, with the first floor clearly having been a store at one point. It looks like the roof may have been reconstructed as well.
A Blog detailing the beauty of St. Louis architecture and the buildup of residue-or character-that accumulates over the course of time.
If I’m not mistaken I think it’s been converted into apartments. If it’s the right place, I went to a party there a few years back (it was a friend of a friends.) Her apartment was a converted storefront and it had a door that led to a cave. I was a little drunk, so maybe she was pulling my leg, but she claimed it went pretty deep but she wouldn’t let me go explore it (haha…afraid I would get lost.)
