Former Frisco Hospital

W.C. Persons, Frisco Hotel, 4960 Laclede, 1920s, Missouri History Museum, N31065

As we discussed yesterday, St. Louis as a railroad hub featured two railroad hospitals, which was fairly unheard of compared to other cities. The second one was operated by the Frisco Railroad, and was located on Laclede Avenue just east of Kingshighway.

It is now a retirement home with a severely altered front door, which I don’t think is terribly sympathetic to the original architecture of the building!
