I adore this house. The assessor says in 2008 it sold for $840,000. I absolutely adore it. Just beautiful. Hard to beat the neighborhood either.

I just am in love with this block. It looks like it would be peaceful with big yards, probably a good place to raise kids, yet it's historic and just absolutely gorgeous. It doesn't look cheap like a lot of the new suburban homes. Granted, it doesn't have the urban street grid, but it still seems pretty urban to me. Just beautiful.

sold for $105,000 in 1985.

Can't get a very good view of this one. I love the stonework, though. You can tell whoever built these houses put a lot of love into it.

Are these two houses that different or is this because of the housing crisis?

Just wow.

It looks like a good percentage of the area is in high res now. I noticed my street was updated a week or two ago. And since our street was being repaved at the time I can pin down the time they drove by as October of last year.

The Bing bird's eye photo was taken on May 13, 2007. Unlike St Louis County, St Louis City has not been reflown since 2007. The google aerial photos appear to be 2010 NAIP.

I count 3 houses on my 2008 aerial photos, with no grass growth where the other 4 were. 7 houses in 2006. 8 Houses in 2004 and 2002. I unfortunately have no coverage in my 1937 to 1997 photos.

I wonder why they cut off the streets? I've seen it done, but sometimes I wonder at the places that they do it. It hasn't seemed to have benefited the neighborhood. What a sad-looking place.

If you compare this street on Street View to Birds Eye (which appears to be newer), many of these buildings on these blocks are gone, though this apartment building is still standing.

It looks like earlier this week all of the overhead shots of St. Louis were updated, and the 45 degree angle feature was expanded on Google Maps. The overhead shots now show the latest Wash. U. engineering building almost completed, the SLAM expansion under construction, the new KWMU building under construction and the new medical building at Euclid & Forest Park Parkway finishing up, and the completed Paddy O's and 360 Bar projects completed. The 45 degree angle feature has been expanded into the county, and now includes all of Clayton and beyond.
