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.
A person lived in this garage. He replaced the rotten accordion doors with discarded doors that he had salvaged.

Look at that Vitrolite that was curved and the sidewalk freight elevator covers!
I recall seeing some of these functioning in Downtown STL: They'd slowly ascend and open startling pedestrians.

Wingbermuehle Funeral Home
Don Wingbermuehle was my dad's BF in his elementary school years. He owned and operated this funeral home that was in this building - their home - until the 80s. He and his wife had ten daughters and every one of them had a name that began with a D. Little Donna once tried to get me to follow her down the stairs to the embalming room. All of the daughters attended St. Elizabeth Academy.

Fins
The fins on this building are strategic: They shade most of the sun as the earth turns. It was interesting to observe the shadows/shade casted by the fins.The facade has been butched with add ons over the decades.My research, such as time allowed, repealed no records of its architect.
