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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |
