The northern part of Old North St. Louis has some incredible abandoned buildings that could be great rehabs.

Update: It was actually the McKinley Bridge that the train tracks went across.

I also wandered into the southern portion of Old North, an area that is deeply isolated by heavy brush and the train trestle that goes across the Merchant’s Bridge, I think.

Update: The wall of the house above collapsed several years after this photograph was taken; its sorry state can be seen in the first photograph in this post from June of 2019.
