Kennerly Avenue East of Annie Malone Drive, The Ville

Starting to the east of the houses you can see in the last photo of this post from November of 2024, we first see the two-family above.

On the south side of Kennerly is the former Homer G. Phillips Hospital, which has since been converted into senior housing.

It’s interesting to see how the four families above and below were clearly built at the same time but the front facades were carefully individualized to create visual interest along the street wall.

For the most part, the houses are occupied.

There’s a really nice fire station that fits the massing and overall feeling of the street wall of Kennerly; you don’t see that much anymore in public buildings.

But most of the buildings in the Ville are relatively small, such as this one below.
