Thanks to a tip, I learned that Rock Alva’s last central portion (the majority of the estate had already been sold off) was recently sold and subdivided off into a small housing development.
The only building to survive is the stable, where the Griesediecks used to skeet shoot. I do not know what its future holds but it clearly is going to be reused. It would make a cool house. I just got new tires so I demurred from driving down the street where at least one house was under construction.
The views are amazing up here, and I imagine that the new houses will have similar vistas out over the Meramec Valley. So passes the story of another of the great estates owned by beer brewers from the early Twentieth Century.
