We next turned into the residential streets to the north of the commercial strip along Big Bend in the Old Orchard area.

As was typical of suburban neighborhood movements in the late Nineteenth Century, and as can be seen in Julius Pitzman’s Clifton Heights and Compton Heights additions, there is a move away from rigid linear streets and instead winding and curving vistas, where a new view is seen as one travels the thoroughfares.

Also, the wood frame iteration of the Queen Anne is seen, along with early Twentieth styles such as the Arts and Crafts and Colonial Revival.

Also, mature, well-maintained trees are hallmark of these neighborhoods.

We also see what might be best described as an offshoot of the Queen Anne, which is the Shingle Style. In hindsight, nineteen years ago I should have made it a separate tag, but instead I threw it in with the Queen Anne tag. Oops. The reason I mention this is that I think the house below used to be more Shingle Style instead of traditional siding. But I love the wood frame houses of Webster Groves because so many different things can be done that can’t be done with brick.
