On Pershing:

And on Waterman:

I bike past both on my commute daily. Agreed. They’re great and the city could use a lot more like them. These townhomes on Boyle are turning out nicely.

Parts 2 and 3 if anyone is interested:

Kind of cool that the very first Second Empire home ever built in St. Louis still exists today (it's an Italianate now).

That has got to be some of the most beautiful rowhouses I’ve ever seen.

Here are some row house shots from my recent walk with SP...

Victor Street:

This set had escaped me for years. Tucked away at the end of Victor Street in Benton Park, it just barely escaped the path of 55. This one needs some restoration as the cornice didn't survive. Though the unit on the end has had their portion restored:

A long set on Lynch:

Missouri Avenue:

And a few older ones from Mississippi Avenue in Lafayette Square. According to Nathan's video, Mark Twain likely visited the home on the far left a number of times as he knew a steamboat pilot that lived there.

James B. Eads, builder of the Eads Bridge, built the two mansard roofed homes on the right as investment properties:

^You have seriously done your homework on those! I've gotten my shots sorted, but I still haven't gotten them posted. It's been one of those weeks. :"> Great stuff sc4mayor!

From March's snow. I thought I shared this first one here, but I didn't see it elsewhere in the thread:
