大宅門庫克大道
A 122歲的磚房佔主導地位的街景惠蒂爾街和庫克大街的聖一角. 路易, 密蘇里州. 建設者在架設 2378 平方英尺的房子 1892. 其獨特的建築包括位於東北牆二樓的砲塔陽台. When first built, 4200 Cook must have been an impressive site.
今天, 4200 廚師不會令人印象深刻. 沒有人住在 4200 從那以後煮一貫 1989. 看來康復無法保存結構.

Sadly, a couple wanted to rehab the building in the early 2000s but faced so many obstacles they eventually quit in frustration around 2003. 破壞者和忽視破壞了他們在沮喪中退出之前完成的初步工作.
Looking at the size and architecture, I guessed that it must have been a rich St. 路易斯的家一次. 然而, 建築商可能已經將其賣給了一個房間，有房間. As early as 1901, the private family, who owned 4200 Cook Avenue, rented two rooms to tenants.

Since it was built in 1892, I doubt it became a rooming house so quickly. 建築商將其設計為房屋和房間出租物業更有可能. 我不能確定, 然而.
十一月 6, 1904, 強盜使邁克爾·雷尼（Michael Reiney）感到驚訝, who roomed at 4200 Cook Avenue. 他們搶劫了Reiney $2 as he walked near Cook and Whittier. 強盜沒有傷害雷尼. 沒有警察抓捕強盜的記錄. This episode shows that crime is not a modern problem but one that we struggled with even in the “好日子”.

In a few more years, all we may have of 4200 Cook Avenue is pictures, so look and imagine of what 4200 Cook once was and could have been again. ST太多. Louis history is lying around the city in piles of brick.
