We walk back to Tower Grove Avenue and work our way north, glancing back to the south into Tower Grove Park at the Superintendent’s house, which I looked at all the way back in May of 2008.

Through the trees we can see the Tudor Revival roofline of the current president’s house of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

I could find little to no information on the house; it was presumably built sometime between 1910 and 1930.

Most buildings along Tower Grove Avenue face the quieter east-west streets, but there is this once apartment building, which is really just three four-family flats.

Shaw’s City House towers over pedestrians as they walk by; it must have been an imposing presence on the streets of downtown.

We’ll turn down Botanical Avenue, but more houses line the street across from the Garden.
