Sgt. King’s Home on Lotus Avenue

I previously wrote about an incident in which a Detective Sergeant for the St. Polisi Louis ditembak selama upaya perampokan. Unlike a number of other incidents in Gilded Age St. Sejarah Louis, Detective Sergeant James Martin King’s home in January 1920 still exists. The home is still in excellent condition.

4973 Lotus Street adalah rumah Sgt. Raja di 1920. Ini adalah tempat tinggal pribadi dan masih dalam kondisi sangat baik. Sebenarnya, seluruh jalan gated off dari N. Kingshighway Boulevard is still in great condition. St. Louis builders erected the homes between 1895 dan 1910. 4973 Lotus Road dibangun pada 1910 pada saat yang sama sebagai tetangga pintunya berikutnya.

Sgt. King was walking home on January 12, 1920, when he was held up a three blocks south of his home at N. Kingshighway and Aldine Place. In comparison to Sgt. King’s home, itu 4900 block of Aldine Place contains a couple dozen apartment buildings owned by the Land Revitilization Authority (LRA). The LRA condemned most of the buildings but a few will probably fall on their own before a wrecking ball can be summoned.

Sgt. King’s home exemplifies the quality of St. Louis architecture around the turn of the Twentieth Century. St. Louis is still home to many of these beautiful brick buildings.
