சார்ஜெண்ட். King’s Home on Lotus Avenue

I previously wrote about an incident in which a Detective Sergeant for the St. லூயிஸ் போலீஸ் ஒரு கொள்ளை முயற்சி போது சுடப்பட்டார். Unlike a number of other incidents in Gilded Age St. லூயிஸ் வரலாறு, Detective Sergeant James Martin King’s home in January 1920 still exists. The home is still in excellent condition.

4973 Lotus Avenue was the home of Sgt. King in 1920. It is a private residence and still in excellent condition. உண்மையில், the entire gated street off of N. Kingshighway Boulevard is still in great condition. ஸ்டம்ப். Louis builders erected the homes between 1895 மற்றும் 1910. 4973 Lotus Avenue was built in 1910 at the same time as its next door neighbor.

சார்ஜெண்ட். King was walking home on January 12, 1920, when he was held up a three blocks south of his home at N. Kingshighway மற்றும் அல்டினே இடம். In comparison to Sgt. King’s home, உருக்கு 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.

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