Description

The revitalization of the stretch of Manchester from Vandeventer to Tower Grove Boulevard, the Grove, has revealed a remarkable collection of late 19th and early 20th century commercial architecture. The LGBT community of St. Louis has energized the restoration of this unique urban streetscape. On this tour, author/historian NiNi Harris will showcase the distinctive cast iron storefronts, terra cotta ornament, and moderne vitrolite that make this streetscape a St. Louis treasure.
