In the 1860s, with bustling river traffic alive with boats and men, St. Louis was a picturesque river town. This was the St. Louis that Mark Twain, Edna Ferber, and T.S. Eliot wrote about: a town on the mysterious but profitable Mississippi. After the Civil War, profits from contracts with the Union and river trading brought increased wealth to the community. Prosperous residents were challenged to find land that could hold their prestigious mansions and gardens. Their eyes turned to the western section of the town, which in time became known as the Central West End.

Join life-time St. Louisan Patrick John Kleaver as he continues his life's story in this UPDATED AND EXPANDED version of his book CITY DWELLER: A LIFETIME LIVING AND WORKING IN ST. LOUIS. Beginning where his book GROWING UP IN OLD NORTH ST. LOUIS: UPDATED AND EXPANDED SECOND EDITION left off, he shares what it was like working in the private sector; for city government; and in the Federal civil service, with details about his beloved parents in their later years. Exploring St. Louis neighborhoods that no longer exist (such as Mill Creek Valley) or have drastically changed through the years (such as Columbus Square), you will learn about their architecture and history, including their rise, decline and rebirth. He discusses closed and still functioning Catholic churches, such as the Alverne Chapel, St. Bridget of Erin, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Elizabeth, St. John The Apostle and Evangelist, St. Nicholas, the Old Cathedral and the Resurrection of Our Lord, with historic and rarely seen photographs of many. Also recounted is the history of long-forgotten cemeteries that had been in or near downtown St. Louis, the near south side of downtown, and the city's Central West End. In this totally revamped and rewritten SECOND EDITION of his book originally published in 2013 he brings you totally UP-TO-DATE with the many changes that have occurred in the neighborhoods he discusses.

ELECTRONIC VERSIONS ARE PIRATED COPIES FOR WHICH THE AUTHOR RECEIVES NO ROYALTIES AND MAY CONTAIN CONTENT NOT AUTHORED BY HIM.

Just as stately trees in Forest Park were coming down to make way for the 1904 World's Fair, elegant homes -- designed by the city's best architects and occupied by its elite-- were springing up on surrounding streets, as a vast building boom began. And that was the start of the St. Louis neighborhood called the Central West End, which quickly grew from a sleepy rural outpost to an address for fashionable people and shops, fine cultural institutions and congregations, high-class hotels and hospitals.That halcyon period did not last, however. Through the years, various factors -- the growth of the suburbs, white flight, the cost of maintaining huge homes, the rise of rooming houses, the disheartening effect of smoke and urban smells -- drove some of the well-to-do farther west, and the Central West End foundered. Though residents, religious groups, and some politicians tried to stop the slide, fine homes disappeared and hospitals fled. At this point, the Washington University Medical Center also faced a choice: stay or go? They decided to hold their ground and mounted a revitalization effort that succeeded, with the support of the resilient community.Today, the Central West End is again undergoing a boom as condominiums go up, businesses come to life, and historic streets find new vitality. To the east, an exciting biotechnology district, Cortex Innovation Community, is building upon its success. Renaissance: A History of the Central West End traces the Central West End's cycle over the past century and more: from its stylish start through its dangerous days to its present strength -- an urban renewal significant enough that it has earned the name "renaissance."

This new addition to the popular guidebook series explores women's experiences and the impact of their activities on the history and landscape of St. Louis. When the city was founded, most St. Louisans believed that "a woman's place is in the home," in the house of her father, husband, or master. Over the years, women pushed out the boundaries of their lives into the public arena, and in doing so they changed the face of St. Louis. In Her Place is a guide to the changing definition of a woman's place in St. Louis, beginning with the colonial period and ending with the 1960s. Each chapter explores the experiences of women during a specific time period and identifies the sites of some of their public activities on a map of the city created from historical sources. Along the way, readers will meet such significant St. Louis women as Harriet Scott, Susan Blow, Edna Gellhorn, and Philippine Duchesne and learn about the activities of the Ladies' Union Aid Society, the Sisters of Charity, the League of Women Voters, and the Harper Married Ladies' Club. The book also includes four tours of the St. Louis region addressing the themes of the book and identifying significant buildings, homes, and other key sites. Current photographs will help readers locate the sites on detailed maps. An up-to-date bibliography and resource listing make this an invaluable guide for anyone interested in studying the history of women in the region.

Despite St. Louis’s mid-twentieth-century reputation as a conservative and sleepy midwestern metropolis, the city and its surrounding region have long played host to dynamic forms of social-movement organizing. This was especially the case during the 1960s and 1970s, when a new generation of local activists lent their energies to the ongoing struggles for Black freedom, lesbian and gay liberation, feminist social transformations, environmental protection, an end to the Vietnam War, and more. This volume, the first of its kind, offers fifteen scholarly contributions that together bring into focus the exceptional range of progressive activist projects that took shape in a single midwestern city during these tumultuous decades. In contrast to scholarship that seeks to interpret the era’s social-movement initiatives in a primarily national context, the works presented in this expansive collection emphasize the importance of locality, neighborhood, community institutions, and rooted social networks. Documenting wrenching forces of metropolitan change as well as grassroots resilience, Left in the Midwest shows us how place powerfully shaped agendas, worldviews, and opportunities for the disparate groups that dedicated themselves to progressive visions for their city. By revising our sense of the region’s past, this volume also expands our sense of the possibilities that the future may hold for activist movements seeking change in St. Louis and beyond.
