Save 750 North Taylor!
I know the house is expensive, but really, should we destroy what is otherwise a perfectly intact street wall that stretches for approximately a miles in the historic core of Kirkwood?
When I was a kid, back in the 70's, I would go over and visit the doctor and his wife who lived there. He was the one who pierced my ears! It was a grand home and I remember they had a parrot. I also remember this misses getting mad at the doctor during a visit because he turned the stove off while noodles were cooking.
I'd hate to see the place town down. It's a beautiful home on a great piece of property.
Lengthy story in the Webster-Kirkwood Times from last August: http://www.websterkirkwoodtimes.com/Articles-i-2010-08-06-170163.113118-750-North-Taylor.html The last I heard, it was still slated for demolition.

Is there any way to save it without buying it?
