After the war, St. Louis’ citizens raised $30,000 to build him a home at 912 N. Garrison Avenue. It was on the northeast corner of the intersection of N. Garrison and Bell Avenue. A better picture of the house can be found by klõpsake siin. The house would be in what is the Lucas Heights neighborhood today.

General Sherman lived in the house until the mid-1880s, when he left because of a dispute with the city over a water bill for the mansion. Või see oli sellepärast, et Sherman tahtis olla oma lastele idas lähemal, sõltuvalt sellest, millist allikat te usaldate. He lived in New York from 1886 until his death on Valentine’s Day, Veebruar 14, 1891.

Tema matused olid üks suurimaid matusealuseid rongkäike St linnas. Louis. General Sherman was laid to rest in St. Louis’ Calvary Cemetery.

Algselt, the Lucas Heights neighborhood was part of a wealthy neighborhood. Many of the former residents of affluent neighborhoods like Lucas Place moved west. This Wikipedia entry tells a similar tale about Vandeventer Place.

The mansions that they left behind were too large for most families to be able to keep up, so they become rooming houses for transient tenants. Uued omanikud ei tee remonti, ja kodud langevad lagunemisse. Rikkad linnaosad liiguvad seda protsessi korrates läände.

Täna, the Sherman mansion like so many of the old homes in St. Louis has been demolished. Each time it happens a little more of the city’s history disappears. Käputäie eranditega, Enne ehitatud hooneid 1890 are gone.
