OK, this one should be easy, so you've got to say what it is, where it is, and where it used to be:

The old entrance to Vandeventer Place, currently in Forest Park, previously in roughly the Grand Center part of town.
I don't think I have anything good to post so somebody else take it from here.

The old Vandeventer Place entrance gates, now in Forest Park just behind the Jewel Box. They used to be roughly where Veterans Hospital is now. Oddly enough another piece of the Vandeventer Place gates, or another set of Vandeventer Place gates (I can't remember which) is in the median of Shaw Place, just west of Grand between Shaw and DeTonty. Don't remember how they got there, but I assume it was sometime in the late Forties or mid-Fifties, when the city was happily completing the atrocity of knocking the whole complex down for the Hospital and the juvenile court complex to its west.
You folks are correct. It seems kind of lonely sitting there by itself. Maybe they could integrate a small playground or picnic spot or something. Would make a great fountain.
Urban fishermen may be familiar with this tree.
I would say that the tree is near the fish hatchery in Forest Park but not 100% sure.

There's an enormous hollow sycamore down in Carondelet Park. Reminds me a bit of that one, though I hope it's still standing.
It's in Forest Park. That's Faulkner Drive on the left, and Jefferson Lake is out of picture to the right. Every time I walk by this tree I get the willies; it's just a matter of time before it falls. It's a huge tree, completely hollowed out inside, leaning right over some of the favorite fishing spots.

It's a beautiful tree, and sycamore is apparently more durable than I would guess, but yeah, it looks to be not too long for this world. On the other hand, it at least looks healthy in that picture. Hollow, but healthy.
I spent far too long trying to figure it out, but it's 28xx Locust. If not for that trash can, that would've been impossible.

^That poor building looks really surprised. Maybe it just coughed up the trash can.
I bike past this building 4-6 times per week and I didn't even recognize it. I glance at the wood facade next to it almost every time though.

This seems like an okay place to ask this question: Is there a list of manufacturers in St. Louis that's available somewhere? Where in St. Louis is that list? lol

Have you reached out to the Missouri Association of Manufacturers? https://www.missourimanufacturers.org/
That looks like it’s down there in Carondelet where Ivory changes to Michigan.stlexplorer wrote:I'm stealing the thread - Where in St. Louis am I?

I can see the parallels, but no, not in Carondelet (The Patch). Quite far from there geographically.

After a thorough search of triangular lots in the northern parts of St. Louis, it seems to have been taken from the triangular lot with the church where St. Louis Ave. meets N. Euclid.
