A Greek Revival-style mansion now open to the public, the Chatillon-DeMenil house dates to 1849, when the first portion was built for Henri Chatillon, a hunter and guide with Francis Parkman's Oregon Trail expedition. Sold to the DeMenil family a few years later, it was soon enlarged and transformed into the current Greek Revival form. Threatened with demolition in the 1950s to make way for the construction of I-55, the house was saved by local preservationists and then completely restored. Today, the DeMenil remains an oasis of calm and elegance.

Admission is $4 for adults and $1 for children younger than 12.

Clifton Heights Park


Never has a sinkhole been as attractive
Simpson and Bowman
(5600 Clayton Avenue inside Forest Park, [Parks Office])
St. Louis, MO 63110
+1 314 289 5330
To the average traveler, this park may appear unimpressive. However, there is an interesting history behind this public landmark site. The lake, which is actually more like a pond, originated from a sinkhole. The park was created in 1912 for the residents of Clifton Heights, while additional property was added in 1922, making the neighborhood park a total four and a half acres. Turn-of-the-century Victorian homes line the park area, which houses a playground, a rest area and, of course, the lake.

St. Mary of Victories Catholic Church


158 years old and going strong
744 S 3rd St
St. Louis, MO 63102
+1 314 231 8101 / +1 314 241 6755
http://www.catholic-forum.com/...
oldcathedral@mindspring.com
The National Register of Historic Places calls this church a landmark, locals call it a bakery, and Catholic members call it home. Founded in 1843, this church has since been redesigned into the splendorous form it still holds today. Thanks to the perfectly landscaped courtyard, the view outside is as marvelous as the cathedral itself. Proceeds from special events are given to the Friends of Historic St. Mary of Victories in order to assist with the community's needs. Tours are available by appointment Monday-Wednesday from 11am-1:30pm.

St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church


Landmark church serving the community's youth
3636 North Market St
St. Louis, MO 63113
+1 314 371 1190
http://www.archstl.org/parishe...
This landmark building, founded in 1865, serves as a social service resource for the community. The original architectural design of the sanctuary is preserved. Pastor Rev. Robert Zinser is proud to be a part of this historic parish, named for the Spanish Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), whose literary works are cited by the National Library of Congress. The church has an adjacent school, St. Nicholas School, which serves the local community. Visitors attend mass and community events, and are drawn by the general history of the building.

The Old Post Office and Custom House


19th-century architectural marvel
800-900 Olive St
St. Louis, MO 63101
A massive and architecturally important building in the center of downtown, the Old Post Office opened in 1884 after more than a dozen years of effort and the expenditure of at least $6 million. Built of Missouri red granite and Maine gray granite, the building was designed in the French Second Empire style and greatly resembles its contemporary in Washington, D.C., the Old Executive Office Building. By 1961, the building was virtually empty, with its federal courtrooms and offices having moved to newer buildings. Targeted for demolition, the Old Post Office survived only after a 15-year, nationwide effort by preservationists.

Washington Avenue Loft District


Thriving for more than 180 years
St. Louis Landmark's Association
(917 Locust Street)
St. Louis, MO 63101
+1 314 421 6474
The St. Louis garment district has been recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Among the businesses that have thrived here throughout the past 180 years are many new studios, galleries and cafes. Some buildings have been rehabbed as loft apartments. The loft district, as it is known, is home to many artists who have made their livings from the very buildings that once housed garment plants. These historic buildings now serve well both as studio lofts and as homes to families. The loft district is worth a visit from travelers.
