St. Louis County Lunatic Asylum

This mental health facility once served St. Louis County, long ago before the city seceded.

Railroad Trestle, Kingshighway

It's a little hard to read, but I think it might say "Scenic Railroad," meaning that the trains on this trestle went out to Castlewood.

Sole Survivor, Kingshighway at Chippewa

This wonderful building on the northwest corner of Kingshighway and Chippewa is the remaining reminder that four buildings once graced this important intersection in South City. Instead, the other corners have become a wasteland of parking that detracts and diminishes the intersection. Perhaps in its next incarnation we can hope for something better. Seriously, a Walgreen's, Applebee's and a Jack in the Box? Wasn't there a Famous Barr at this intersection back in the day?
