We cross over Arkansas Avenue in Tower Grove East where there are many corner storefronts such as the one you see above and below.
There’s also Riley’s, famous for its pizza.
Those front parapet walls below have obviously been truncated due to damage from the weather, which is common.
We see more tracts houses below, with alternating and varied rooflines and dormers in the roofs, but the fenestration again is basically the same, even with different colored front facade brick and ornamentation.
They’ve also been individualized due to different ownership over the last one hundred years, as times and tastes have changed.
We then reach the International Institute, the former St. Elizabeth’s.
As I had long suspected, and fire insurance maps, showed, the original chapel was much longer, but most likely was truncated with the construction of the Modernist wing with its new chapel.
We then reach Louisiana Avenue.
