Glennon Seminary, Affton

I had always seen this tower from Watson or Gravois, and last Sunday; I finally found my way there. Reminds me of the city hall of Los Angeles in some aspects.

Oakland House, Affton

I ran across this great Italianate country home buried back on some side streets off of Heege Road in Affton. It's an interesting structure, as most Italianate houses I've seen have stucco walls on the exterior of these styles of houses. It's almost a little jarring for the smooth, elegant lines of the house to be interrupted by the large, boulder construction. Nevertheless, it's worth a drive-by.
