<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 246575, member: 182"]Wow! What a trip down memory lane! I used to live in St Louis until we moved when I was about 10 yrs old. This address would have been somewhat near where we lived. I still have lots of relatives in St Louis. This type of dwelling (multi-family) was ubiquitous in south St Louis when I was a kid. All mixed in with single family homes. Most are still there. When you build them so well, they last. </p><p><br /></p><p>Went on a web search, and the address where we lived is still there and occupied. Looks a bit different and I imagine that they no longer deliver coal for heating into the coal shutes. This would have been the early 50s. My dad shoveled coal into the furnace every morning during winter. My Grandmother lived upstairs. The elementary school across the street was HUGE and it's there but no longer a school. I wonder what the new owners plan for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for posting this. I think I'll call my brother and have him look up these buildings too. It was fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
