Update: The property taxes are also ridiculously low, as well.
This house shows the density at which St. Louis was built. Taking into consideration the street and alley, the house is a wedged shaped pile of brick. No one would fit a house so elegantly into the street grid like this nowadays.
For anyone interested, this is right off of Gravois, on Potomac, @ Tennessee (?).
Close: Arkansas.
Lol, yeah, drove down Potomac from Schnucks today, and I caught the sign out of the corner of my eye.
