Update: This is a truly awful photo. I went back and photographed the building better in September of 2020. You can see those photos here.
I’ve always been intrigued by the Kutis Funeral Home on Gravois at Arsenal; it’s an odd building architecturally, though certainly perhaps because of its use it needed to be.
It looks odd to me to, but as you say, when the purpose is strange, the result is this. You should go to the Recoleta Cemetery in Argentina. I was there a few years ago, I had decided to rent apartments in buenos aires and one of them was in this neighbourhood that was weird because it was full of fancy, elegant classy houses and then this huge cemetary. Anyways, it was beautiful too!Amy
