Interesting design. It reminds me a little of this one further up Cabanne (5832), set back from the road more, that looks to be occupied and in good repair: Google Maps

^Got it!
I love this building, and I worry about the day the medical center eyes it's site for future expansion.

^That's a sweet little building. What was it originally?
It was a healthcare building built by the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Workmen of American Local 88 for their members, designed by Harris Armstrong. Michael Allen has a blurb about it in an article from 2009 about a now-demolished building that was across Taylor from it, and how we should approach small but attractive mid-century modern buildings that can fly under the radar: Rabe Hall and Preserving Minor Mid-Century Modernism
Andrew Ramist also has a short entry about it: Origin of the Meatcutter's Medical ClinicOne block east on the south side of Forest Park is a building owned by Washington University more clearly worthy of protection. The Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Workmen of American Local 88 built the building at 4488 Forest Park in 1957. The renowned modern master Harris Armstrong designed the $100,000 clinic. The two-story building expresses great architectural originality, is the work of a master and is over 50 years old.
^ That is the plane junkyard thing on Chouteau. I think that guy wanted to make a museum of some kind.
Is that a MiG-25 in the middle there??? Sure looks like it.
Yes. I think it’s neat that the old streetcar tracks are showing up.framer wrote:Walton looking south from Olive.

I remember seeing them in Grand as a kid, and I think spots on Gravois. They used to pop up all over town.
