TGS Lustron House

A long lost friend moved back to St. Louis some years ago and prior to landing bought a Lustron house sight unseen.
While I've photographed Lustron's from the outside, this was my first visit to an interior.

Pocket doors, enameled steel panels, and steel tiles on the roof. Most of the Lustron's consisted of 10 tons of steel and Bill (owner of this beauty) told me a truck was specifically constructed to haul the pieces to site. The interior is entirely made of steel and the panels were bolted together.

Earlier in the evening

Dinner with my bodyguard at Three Monkeys on MGF where I spotted these unusual bricks.

What the hell happened on this building? Located on the corner of 41 Connecticut and Bent, the smaller 'turret' is dwarfed by the massive turret on the West side of the building.




UNBALANCED TURRETS

THE FOUR CORNERS ON JUNIATA AND OAK HILL

I am charmed by this corner: three building with iron columns that bear the weight of the brick that are all different sizes. I love those columns. On the last corner is Horace Mann elementary school.
