WHAT IS #TEAMSEAS?
#TeamSeas is a global campaign to raise $30M to remove 30M pounds of plastic and trash from our ocean, rivers and beaches. It’s also the second wave of the largest creator-led fundraising campaign to ever hit the internet: #TeamTrees. We(creators) launched #TeamTrees in 2019 with a goal of raising $20M to plant 20M trees and we smashed it-raising over $23M and generating more than 1B video views. Even two years later, TeamTrees.org is still receiving donations for planting 2,600 trees every day. We’re back again to rally the internet’s passion and imagination in support of the ocean and all of us.
IS ALL OF THE MONEY GOING TO THE NON-PROFIT PARTNERS?
Yes. Every single dollar #TeamSeas raises will go directly to these two solutions-oriented not-for-profit organizations, Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup. They will split the funds 50/50. The money will be released for verified impact, $1 for one pound.

The mention of reclaimed brick reminded me of a song by Pokey Lafarge - "Brick Thieves". I was not aware of this crime until I heard the song and did some research.

Very interesting video today. I always wanted to live at that time in one of those homes until I hear no indoor plumbing. 😕

When I first moved into Soulard in the early 80’s, the neighbor across the street had a three seater brick privy in her backyard that hadn’t been used for years. The city issued a decree for all privies to be torn down sometime in the 90’s if I remember correctly. The narrators description of the overall stench in such a crowded neighborhood caught my attention too. Soulard currently has about 4500 residents, but at it’s height, there were almost 45,000 living in Soulard and Kosciusko, the portion of the neighborhood across 7th St. that was torn down in the 60’s. I live by myself in a house that once was two apartments with sometimes up to ten residents at any given point in time near the turn of 20th century. I share a backyard with two other attached row houses, and there had been a stable in our shared backyard. The smell had to be overpowering. My father was born in an alley house behind his grandfather’s house and was raised in a two family flat that the family built next door in the less crowded neighborhood of what is now called McKinley Heights. His first steady job at the age of 14 was in a chicken slaughter house on the next street over to the east. I shudder to think of the smell if it hadn’t been that the prevailing winds come from the west. If the wind shifted….

That gangway was fun for kids to climb up the walls.

I hope you go back when the building is completed for another video.

@ThisHouse 2 года назад

We absolutely will, stay tuned!

@11thstalley96 2 года назад

Thank you very much for posting this incredibly fascinating video! As a longtime Soulard resident, I’m really looking forward to tracking the progress of this project. I hope that you would be able to post videos that document future milestones in the development. Thanks again!

Thank you for watching! We will be posting an update as the interior nears completion

@vickiephilpitt7697 2 года назад

This was quite interesting. Somehow I missed this back in Nov. but it is nice to know that the building is being re-purposed for educational interests. Funny how you were saying the new bricks hopefully will last several hundred more years and the first thing I thought about " not if there is another natural catastrophe ( tornado or [heh heh] Yellowstone volcano explosion or meteorite)". Remember what happened to the dinosaurs! 😉

@sammyjo8109 2 года назад

What is the projected completion date for this project? I assume it will take several years. Thank you for the opportunity to see the bones of this historic building. People easily say " that building/home needs to be saved" but few of us realize what it entails. Very eye opening.

@ThisHouse 2 года назад

If all goes well, the building should be open to the public within a year.

It sure would be neat to see the land without urban St. Louis on it during the time Andrew talked about. I wish I could go back in time and take a buggy ride or just on horseback through that area.
