The next block is still the 4200 block but we see something surprising. The houses are several decades older, dating from 1908.

And we see the appearance of some interesting houses, with dramatic and dominant shed roofs over their porches, built in 1923.

We cross over Turner Avenue and enter the 4200 block of West San Francisco Avenue. What?! It’s a long story and I’ll explain in a post in the near future. But for the time being, we’re going to see the 4200 block start over.

We’re back to seeing houses from 1930 and after. Also, we’re seeing tornado damage.

We see examples of simplified Gingerbread style houses.

These blocks dispel the myth that North St. Louis is some sort of giant wasteland.

After this house, we now arrive at Clarence Avenue.
