Update: See the stylistically similar Fremont School from October of 2019.
Converted into apartments, the Mount Pleasant School stands out as a building of high style among the low rise housing of the Dutchtown neighborhood.
Influenced by Renaissance art, the front door and the flanking windows show the influence of Michelangelo. I love architecture like this, so innocent and eclectic in its realization.
Yes, that’s it. Pretty neat huh
Pretty neat huh? Marge sent me a picture of her 6th grade graduation but I don’t recognize the school. Maybe a side that I never saw.

Went to school there from 1964–1967. Roger chasteney was my 7 and 8 th gr. Teacher.
Thanks for sharing, Robert! So it was a junior high school?
It was a school for Kindergarten through 8th grade which I guess is what the St Louis City school district did then. I went there from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. Then my family moved to the county and that school district had a Junior high for 7th and 8th grade.
Went there and had Mr. Chasteney in 68 and 69. He was one of my favorite teachers.
Is this building still being used for apartments? Whenever I drive by on I-55 and look, it seems like it’s an abandoned building.
