Lub tsev loj nyob ua noj Avenue
122 xyoo cib tsev dominates lub scene txoj ntawm kaum kev Whittier Street thiab ua noj Avenue hauv St. Louis, Missouri. Builders tsa cov 2378 mus ko taw square lub tsev nyob rau hauv 1892. Its unique architecture includes a turret balcony on the second floor of the northeast wall. Thaum ntej los ua, 4200 Ua noj yuav tsum tau ib qho chaw impressive.
Hnub no, 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.
Sadly, ob peb xav rehab lub tsev nyob rau hauv cov 2000s thaum ntxov tab sis muag ces nws nws thiaj li tawm hauv siab ib ncig obstacles 2003. Vandals and neglect wrecked the preliminary work they completed before quitting in frustration.
Saib qhov luaj li cas thiab architecture, Kuv guessed hais tias nws yuav tsum tau ib tug me nyuam nplua nuj. Louisan’s home at one time. Txawm li cas los, builders may have sold it as a home with rooms to let. Thaum ua 1901, tsev kheej, leej twg tug 4200 Ua noj Avenue, khiab tsev nyob rau chav ob mus xauj.
Vim nws ua tau 1892, Kuv doubt nws los ua ib lub tsev rooming sai heev li. It would be more likely that the builder designed it as a home and room rental property. I cannot say for sure, Txawm li cas los.
Nyob rau lub kaum ib hlis 6, 1904, robbers surprised Michael Reiney, thaum uas roomed 4200 Ua noj 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. No rov qhia tau hais tias qhov kev ua txhaum no tsis yog ib qho teeb meem niaj hnub tab sis uas peb struggled uas tej zaum tseem tau ua tus “zoo hnub qub”.
Ob peb xyoo ntxiv, txhua yam peb yuav tau muaj kev 4200 Ua noj Avenue yog duab, ces zoo thiab xav txog tej yam uas zoo li cas 4200 Ua noj ib zaug heev thiab yuav tau rov. Too much of St. Louis keeb kwm yog dag ib ncig cov nroog hauv tawm, cib.
