I grew up on Saint Louis Ave ( before it got too bad). It use to be one of the most beautiful streets in the city. Our house was huge. I lived next door to the blue house they featured. The people that lived in that house were the kindest people I've ever met. They always bought me beautiful porcelain dolls. They were very old when I was a child so I imagine they have passed by now. I loved living here. Now the whole area is destroyed by drugs and violence. The house that I lived in was not featured because it exploded sometime around 1992-1993..luckily we moved out about 2 weeks before that happened.

It is such a shame that many of these houses have not been preserved by the city or deemed historical landmarks. The city is so rich in its history and beauty.

@susankrouse6844 Год назад

It is not the city’s “job” to preserve these homes. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to apply for historical preservation, placards, etc.

@uhoh7541 Год назад

When i was a kid in the 90's, downtown saint louis was riddled with empty derelict buildings. Never verified, but was told historical society prevented them from being torn down- BUT did nothing to take care of them. The first time i visited detroit in 2009- a cab driver was showing me derelict buildings that couldn't be torn down due to historical society. Both cities since have torn a lot of that down and built new buildings that now provide attractions and income/jobs. Point of the comment is if there's a historical society stopping something from being torn down, but doing nothing to take care of those same buildings- is that really a good thing?

@robertruffo2134 9 месяцев назад

@rafaeltorre1643 2 года назад

So does Detroit. If it wasn't for its downfall, it would be one of the largest historical cities in the country. Charleston, SC is one of the largest and best. And Santa Fe, NM is awesome and the oldest by far, but just not nearly as large. But St. Louis is great too. It's sad that lots of historical homes in large cities are falling apart and knocked down because theres no one to protect or save and fix them. Our country will eventually need to do a complete overhaul of our infrastructure. We are the most wealthy country but have the worst old and aging infrastructure. Its embarrassing. But the 1% don't care enough about our country as long as they can live somewhere nice and far away from bad neighborhoods and ignore the problem. Older generations had the best of America when corporations were located in the U.S. and actually paid tax. Now there are a lot less jobs and huge corporations give all their money and jobs to China and other poor countries. America will never be the same as the past with the status quo. We make less and pay more. Home ownership is getting harder for all Americans. Less generational wealth.

@ronschuster4377 2 года назад

BTW, when we lived there, it was called St Louis Park. Never heard of St Louis Place while we were there. Also, the big tornado in 1959, while the main track was up around Jefferson, there WAS a sister funnel that went straight down the middle of the park, and it took out very big mature trees along StL Ave. Picked them straight up, roots and all, and laid them on their sides. We were in the cellar under the stairs and in the cobwebs, and the funnel DID indeed sound like a giant freight train right outside our front door. The weather people never mentioned a sister funnel for that storm.

@DeanRussellHickey 2 года назад

You did an excellent job presenting the history and architecture of a great city, Nathan. I discovered St Louis on Google Earth, and I've seen many of the houses you describe. Google Earth has made me feel as though I've actually walked through these neighbourhoods. I can only imagine what the north part of the city would have looked like around the year 1900. It is a story filled with sadness and destruction, but your work, and the slow but steady restoration, one house at a time, will someday play a part in the renaissance of a great American city.

I was born at the Homer G. Phillips hospital at the time. It’s a senior living building now. St. Louis was beautiful back then. My mom moved to Wells and minerva when I was little. She bought her first and only house for 7k ; 4 bedroom. Which she still owns. The area is now not as safe but everyone knows her and her children so she’s safe. I love St. Louis. All my siblings and I all own properties in the city and give back to community. I wouldn’t live anywhere else. 💜💜💜

@mrs.g.9816 2 года назад

I love old, well-kept Victorian houses. I hope videos like yours will trigger a resurgence in restoration projects in St. Louis. One of my favorite movies, which I'll have to call a fantasy, is the musical, "Meet Me in St. Louis". Who wouldn't want to live in the mansion featured in the story? If I couldl time-travel, I'd love to see the St. Louis of the 1880's to the "19-aughts". Why I consider the movie a fantasy: I google-earthed Kensington Avenue and it appeared that there were never any Victorian mansions there. The street was lined with brownstones and it looked run down.

@ThisHouse 2 года назад

There is a really fun story about that house. The studio, MGM built the house and street on a studio back lot for the movie. However, the house and rest of the set were torn down in the 1970’s. The fictional neighborhood was based on the real neighborhood in St Louis named Lafayette Square. Lafayette Square is still standing today and is one of the most grand and well preserved Victorian Era neighborhoods that still exists to this day.

@johnvinga5446 10 месяцев назад

@@ThisHouse As St. Louis suffered from vast urban blight and flight of the affluent to the suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s, city officials offered a program to help preserve Lafayette Square (and other selected historical homes which were in decay and disappearing quickly). Lafayette Square had been hit by a tornado as well, but many years earlier--maybe 1927 if memory serves. The city's program sold buyers abandoned grand homes for $1. The stipulations were the owners had to occupy and be actively restoring the home for at least two years (or maybe it was three). This program probably saved many, many old Victorian grand homes in Lafayette Square (Lafayette Park and adjacent streets for the most part). Owners gave tours of their renovation projects and told of some of the incredible hard work and money they had to put in to the homes to get them back to any semblance of grandeur. Many had tornado damage to the top floors, and previous owners simply sealed off the top floors to avoid having to make repairs. Some had been turned into cheap apartment houses and probably worse. For a city with absolutely tons of social and political problems, this was one beneficial socio-economic program. Don't know if the city kept this concept going indefinitely. It sure should have. St. Louis Place Park, Hyde Park and many neighborhoods in the Central West End are other examples of fantastic St. Louis architecture which largely disappear if some subsidy were not provided. As an example of the worst case scenario in St. Louis, research what happened to Vandeventer Place.

I am a true native of St Louis! My family has been there so long that I would need to go on ancestry to know more. In 2006, we buried my great grandma in the very last remaining grave bought by my ancestors from when St Peter and Paul cemetery first opened- 1800’s. She was 100 when she died, so all of the family history she was able to tell me about St Louis was told to her by Anna Weber, her mother. I haven’t lived there since 1995, but my family is a STL staple! I love going back regularly! Since we were an original family we are so spread out that none of us know who we are distantly related to! My wonderful deceased grandma was Nancy Crane, founder of a pet care business that’s been there since 1963, and my mom (died 2001) was a ‘67 miss teen St. Louis and the America! St. Louis is so special! Thank you for that history, and all the research you do to make your videos! There’s a lot of us that love St Louis and appreciate you.

Thats a rich st. Louis family history to be proud of. My great grandmother was a single mother and a hard worker. She was also the first woman to become a taxi driver in the city of st.louis. From hearing family stories, I heard that she was a fiesty and tough woman who can hold her own. She was proud to be the first female taxi driver in her favorite city her hometown as well. Good ole St. Louis. Which is where she proudly raised her family on the south part of the city. Near Cherokee street. Which later became the little Mexico of st. Louis. Where you can shop locally for mexican goods and a fresh hot plate of some fresh Mexican food. Tacos isnt the only thing we're good for!!!

My grandparents lived in St. Louis when I was growing up. Such a colorful city. I loved visiting them. They lived at 4388 Maryland by the Cathedral. In those days the streetcar ran in front of their house and they had gas street lights that were lit by an individual at dusk and a paperboy early in the morning.

I used to live in that area in the mid 1950s. Thanks for the history!

You should check out our last video, We explore the 2nd Empire Strikes Backs home that was built in 1890 in the same area!

@@ThisHouse I saw that, also. That is one motivated owner! I was born in St Louis, reared on the north side. Even as a child I appreciated the rich architectural heritage of the city. Left there in 1975; no close family there any more. Still have affection for the land of my birth. Thank you for your work!

Very cool and sad seeing all the buildings that are gone. Grew up around 25th and Dodier 960's thru until early 1980's.

Hopefully what is left can be saved.

@@ThisHouse sure hope so.. Used to walk St. louis avenue when going to 14th street (Crown Candy). Was impressed by most of the houses, had NO idea of their history. Should have had someone back then teaching us kids.
