Readers who attended my recent lecture about the covering of the River des Peres will remember that the waterway once came up the right-of-way of the eponymous avenue. Because it was covered over in the 1920s and 30s, and most of the neighborhood was already built, Modernist in-fill was built later on the newly freed-up land. This little interesting building is one of them.
Had no clue that’s how these little buildings came to be or that they were that old.
