1986. Central West End. St. Louis City
From the years that Armin and I would walk the alleys west and north of our house at 4350 McPherson.

Fire escapes
Fire escapes on homes in the CWE. Originally built as single family homes they morphed into rooming houses during the Great Depression and were required to have a third floor fire escape. I lived in a similar home on McPherson that had a fire escape and an iron ring bolted to the floor with a rope ladder on the other side of the house.
