St. Louis has so many examples of lost architecture. Would love to have been able to have seen a lot of these buildings back in the day

ColdMineralsays
damn yeah that’s a rough one, been through the area a lot as my father used to work nearby and it’s sorta sketchy around there

Dense neighborhood to vague stripmall

Do we have any reason to believe that’s a piece of the old facade?

St. Louis is a very depressing city, especially when you look at what it once was.
