This great ensemble of buildings anchors North Broadway in front of the St. Louis Market--the real market in the city where produce is delivered and sold to grocery stores and the like.
The current occupant of the three buildings is a bag company of some sort.
The street wall is well preserved along this stretch, giving a sense, at least to the east, of a thriving city.
While I don't necessarily approve of the red aluminum in the windows, I am glad to see that the buildings are occupied. The bronze cornice brackets are particularly wonderful features. These buildings may have originally been early refrigerated warehouses for the city.
