JeffVanderLou makes me sad. There are such beautiful houses, but I have no idea how to make this economically feasible to renovate this area. The houses get more run-down, and the volunteer trees get taller.

Look at how they modernized this house at one, installing more Modernist windows into an Italianate house.

I visited this block back in May of 2014.

I am giving a free lecture on Daniel Martensz Mytens the Elder’s Portrait of Charles I at the Saint Louis Art Museum today, Thursday, May 18th at 11:00 AM, and again tomorrow, Friday, May 19th at 6:00 PM.
