Not either of those. A clue is incoming...
Another quick guess….

Does anyone have a good guess about the fallout shelter with the arches in the cornice?
Real funny you two. As if there’s nothing else going on, you pull that stunt. But it’s to be expected from a select group of users on here.

So about that cornice with the arches and Vault 314 below . . .
^ Corner of 12th & Russell, there's a bus shelter and it's next to St. Joseph's. 1015 Russell Blvd, I believe.
For clarity, it is on the 12th street wall...

Okay, this house is on Trinity Ave. in University Heights, U City. The owner told me it was designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright (and it really shows).
According to this document (10th page of the pdf file), the house was by Russell Barr Williamson and built in 1921.
"The house at 748 Trinity, while it is a decade later than those discussed above, has perhaps the greatest architectural significance of any in the neighborhood. It was built in 1921 by Russell Barr Williamson in a style directly influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. Williamson had studied at Taliesin during the time that Wright was experimenting with concrete construction, and this house was specifically designed to show off the capabilities of this material, as Williamson himself wrote in the magazine Concrete. In plan and massing, the house is very like several from Wright's Prairie period, while the chunky concrete decorative elements reflect an awareness of his more recent work in California and Japan. The first owner of the house was Preston M. Bruner, founder of the Bruner Granitoid Company, which made concrete sidewalks and building components; he too had a professional interest in this experiment.
