I turns out when I had wandered into the narrow streets just south of Wydown Boulevard in between Hanley and Big Bend in Clayton, I was in the Moorlands, a development of incredible architectural diversity and beauty.

What is so interesting about this neighborhood is how it is clearly continuing the St. Louis trend of hiring multi-family buildings in what appears to be single family houses. Look above and below; note the multiple front doors.

The houses are on Cromwell Drive.

After the house below, we cross over Cromwell Drive.

Then we continue on, with a wealth of Tudor Revival with some influence of what is known as Norman Revival.

Large central towers with the entryways and stone accents are common in this form of architecture, again influenced by Maritz and Young.

We’ll continue on to see more tomorrow.
