Here are some leftover photos from the last six months. Above is a Falstaff sign in Benton Park.

Above, looking down a street in what I think is Kingsway East towards the Chase Park Plaza, but I can’t be sure.

Above is the Missouri Athletic Club, which I snapped while sitting at the light at Washington and Fourth streets.

Above is the old Chevy plant where I think they used to make Corvettes. I was going to do a post on it but I realized there is nothing left of it. Note how even in the 1940s there was open land northwest of the intersection of Union and Natural Bridge.

I spotted some original wood block pavement in Chouteau’s Landing.

Finally, we see the German St. Vincent’s Orphan Home, in this not-so-great photo I took on the fly. It grew out of the cholera epidemic of 1849, when children were left orphaned when their parents died.
Were the wood blocks treated with preservative like creosote? Is anything know about what type of wood was used? Maybe only oak?
Great question, I don’t know.
