Update: All the buildings below were torn down for the new NGA, whose giant campus swallowed a large portion of the southwestern St. Louis Place neighborhood.
A Blog detailing the beauty of St. Louis architecture and the buildup of residue-or character-that accumulates over the course of time.
The buildings in the last two photographs still look like they are in restorable condition, the bottom one especially with its original windows.

Not Leicester City winning the Premier League odds, but I still would not bet on it happening.
