We’ve now traveled enough north on Oregon Avenue that we’ve popped up onto Pictorial St. Louis, and it gives us a wealth of information about what was happening on the block 150 years ago. The house below had already been built, but as we can see, it was modified probably in the 1940s to keep up with the latest trends in architecture.

Proceeding north from the corner of Keokuk, the architecture seems to be mostly from the early Twentieth Century.

But then the west side of the street flips back over to the late Nineteenth Century with the traditional houses with their front doors on the side elevation.

Then there’s a row of Arts and Crafts two-family apartments.

At Chippewa, a corner store anchors the intersection.

Turning around and heading back south, there is a wide variety of architectural styles from across the decades after the 1870s.

I’m particularly intrigued by this old house, sitting farm back from the street. I think it is the lone house visible in Pictorial St. Louis on the east side of the street in the grove of trees.

Back to Osage Street we see more multi-family housing.
