Two Houses, Disguised as One, Central West End

Update: See the south side of the house on the right here (last photos).

I once remarked that St. Louis builders and perhaps residents as well wanted to disguise the fact that they lived in multi-family dwellings, so they made duplexes look like a single, grand house.

Upon first glance, this house around the corner from the New Cathedral looks like a mansion, but when one looks closer, you see two front doors.  It’s an elegant house, nonetheless.
