I love the area of the riverfront north of Laclede's Landing; anchored by the slender Cotton Belt Warehouse (see it
here,
here and
here), the area yearns for reinvestment.
Also, I realized I had photographed
this warehouse in the past as well. It is a legacy of the area's importance in the storage of produce and other foodstuffs.
This old power plant, shorn of its smokestack, is another interesting building sitting along the riverfront.
But the
Ashley Street Power Plant never ceases to amaze me; it is an ornate building, built in the Beaux-Arts style, and is a temple to electricity, and now steam.
