Big House Cook Avenue
122-aastane telliskivimaja domineerib tänavapilt nurgal Whittier Street ja Cook Avenue St. Louis, Missouri. Puidust püstitatud 2378 ruutmeetril maja 1892. Its unique architecture includes a turret balcony on the second floor of the northeast wall. Kui esimene ehitatud, 4200 Cook pidi olema muljetavaldav site.
Täna, 4200 Cook is not so impressive unless you are fascinated by how much a brick building can decay before it collapses. No one has lived at 4200 Cook consistently since 1989. It does not appear rehabbers can save the structure.

Kurvalt, Paar tahtis võõrutusravi hoone 2000. aastate alguses, kuid silmitsi nii palju takistusi nad lõpuks loobuda pettumust ümber 2003. Vandals and neglect wrecked the preliminary work they completed before quitting in frustration.
Vaadates suurus ja arhitektuur, Ma arvata, et see pidi olema rikas St. Louisan’s home at one time. Siiski, builders may have sold it as a home with rooms to let. As early as 1901, erasektori pere, kes omas 4200 Cook Avenue, renditud kaks tuba üürnikele.

Kuna see oli ehitatud 1892, Ma kahtlen sai Üürimaja nii kiiresti. It would be more likely that the builder designed it as a home and room rental property. I cannot say for sure, siiski.
On November 6, 1904, robbers surprised Michael Reiney, kes toaline juures 4200 Cook Avenue. They robbed Reiney of $2 as he walked near Cook and Whittier. The robbers did not injure Reiney. No record exists of the police catching the robbers. See episood näitab, et kuritegevus ei ole kaasaegne probleem, kuid mida me võidelnud isegi “vana hea päeva”.

Mõne aastat, kõik, mida me võib-olla on 4200 Cook Avenue on pildid, et otsida ja ette kujutada, mida 4200 Cook kunagi oli ja oleks võinud veel. Too much of St. Louis ajalugu vedelema linn hunnikud tellistest.
