Сержант. King’s Home on Lotus Avenue

I previously wrote about an incident in which a Detective Sergeant for the St. Луи полиции был застрелен во время попытки ограбления. Unlike a number of other incidents in Gilded Age St. Луи истории, Detective Sergeant James Martin King’s home in January 1920 still exists. The home is still in excellent condition.

4973 Лотос Avenue был дом сержанта. Король в 1920. Это частная резиденция и до сих пор в отличном состоянии. На самом деле, весь закрытый от улицы N. Kingshighway Boulevard is still in great condition. Улица. Louis builders erected the homes between 1895 и 1910. 4973 Лотос авеню был построен в 1910 В то же время, как его сосед.

Сержант. 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, the 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.

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