Heading north of the houses ringing Fountain Park and passing by Euclid School, we continue north on Euclid Avenue.

Perhaps what is most interesting is this sudden cluster of extremely old wood frame houses, clearly dating from the exurban days of the Aubert Place Addition.

While city records clearly state that Pitzman had platted the addition by the late 1860s, Compton and Dry’s Pictorial St. Louis in 1876 shows no evidence of the streets and lots having been laid out. I could find no evidence of these houses having been built yet, so the addition must have finally been demarcated and the streets roughed out shortly thereafter, along with Delmar and Page.

And speaking of outliers in a neighborhood of houses mostly built in the 1890s to 1910s, we have a house that looks to be from the 1940s below!

But the standard look of houses is something we’d see below. We reach Page Boulevard at this point. I’ve looked at the houses north of Page and south of MLK several times, but more thoroughly in May of 2018.
