My first home was at 1431 Dolman. Living in Lafayette Square was amazing. The neighbors were some of the best people I’d met. The Second Empires are amongst the most preserved and beautiful in America.
I have been to New Orleans twice and I think old parts of St. Louis look a lot like it. Much of St. Louis was torn down in the mid-20th century unfortunately.
I live right next to Forest Park, but go to Lafayette park often. It is so peaceful and i love the beautiful wraught iron fences and historical feel of the park. Thanks for the great video!
Wow, beautiful park. Nice place to go for walking and relaxing. Background music is so good. Thanks for showing us around. I really loved watching this video. New sub here:) Have a nice day
St. Louis has so much to offer: The Hill, Dog Town, Bevo Mill, The Arch, Zoo, Art Museum, Forest Park, Central West End, Soulard Market, City Museum, Cardinals, Blues, The Muny, The Fabulous Fox, Powell, etc. StL is home.
I worked for 40 years in Downtown West and would at times intentionally drive through this neighborhood going or returning from work. I pretty much saw a lot of the renovation work in this neighborhood making it again look like it would have many years ago but I believe a tornado around 1900 may have destroyed it and then was rebuilt. Not certain of the date on that one. The reahabbing done was amazing. This was once really a run down area. I wonder if this area is affected much by inner city crime like broken car windows, etc.
It seems like one of the safer parts of the city to me, but these days just about any urban area has a car theft problem. My sister lives in suburban Seattle and her car was stolen twice--once from a Walmart parking lot.
@@MrDEWaters So sorry to hear about your sister. Having a car stolen sounds terrible. I know the area seems safe but maybe closer for the bad guys to reach. A lot of it though is kids. Thanks for the info.

Yes, and many homes there are relatively affordable.
Great music. These streets and houses remind me of the Garden District in New Orleans.

StL is home.
Beautiful
I went on home tour in Lafayette Park once in cold weather, thought I would freeze LOL
I would think that those homes require large furnaces.
Thank you the people of Lafayette Square for saving this beautiful neighborhood from the modernization wrecking ball so many years ago!!!
Yes, at one point the area was going to be some sort of freight depot and all the houses would have been torn down.
Nicely done 🫠🫠
I'm glad you liked it. Today was the perfect spring day----although storms moved in later.
I lived there for eight years in the 1970,s
At 2345 Lafayette is the old German house. Gateway Christian School was in the basement. I graduated in 88.
Beautiful. Just like st. Louis 😢😮😅😊
Painted ladies showing off their beauty.
And grandeur.
