Virginia Place, East St. Louis

I mentioned Virginia Place yesterday, and there is actually a large number of houses left standing on the block between 29th and 33rd streets.

There’s a central median, but unlike the two sides, there doesn’t seme to be any curb left. It is mowed, but there is minimal landscaping.

Houses run the gamut from presumably the 1910s all the way up to the 1950s or 60s. It is typical of many private streets in that respect in that it developed slowly.
