Heading east down Washington Street from downtown Belleville are a whole ensemble of amazing houses, such as the one seen above, which has been carefully restored.

I like this little Romanesque Revival cottage sitting back from the street; it is simple and restrained, but still looks great along the street wall.

The St. Clair Historical Society is housed inside a house where Abraham once supposedly spoke from the balcony on the second floor.

Below, there is a house I would expect to see in the Central West End in St. Louis.
