Progress... it’ll get there. Lately I have had to remember to be kind to myself. I’ll get there, we’ll all get there — just be kind and patient and never stop pressing onward.

Loving @pete_pagano 's work. . This 1895ish construction, and the dormer roofs are easily the best part. also, i’m pretty sure the slate is original, which is pretty cool. anyhow...a very early occupant was the henry nathanson family; henry was the president of the phoenix furniture co. per the 1906 book of st louisans, henry grew up in pennsylvania and came to #stl in 1892, at which time he started the furniture company, and his chief hobby was “motoring”. also in 1906, henry’s wife emma was fined $500 for slapping a waitress. a subsequent occupant of the home, mrs josephine wells, died in 1909 on account of indigestion; doctors of the day pinpointed the cause as a recent meal she’d eaten consisting only of oysters and cream puffs. 🤷🏼♂️ . #vandeventer #stlouis #northcity #stlhistory #stlarchitecture #citylife #architecture #archi_ologie #brickcity #architecturaldetail #oldhouselove #boardedup #oldhouse #losthistory #rentalproperty #housesofinstagram #urbandecay #deserve2preserve #preservation #BrickStory, #oldhouselove #thisoldhouse #architecture, #architecture_hunter #architecture_best #architecturaldesign #architecturedaily #architecturedetails #instarchitecture #architecture_view #architecturealways .

Move over Chicago, St. Louis has a significant Polish community too. There are an estimated 50,000-60,000 people of Polish descent and about 5,000 Polish-born residents living in the greater St. Louis area.

Former newsman Julius K. Hunter has become something of a history detective. His latest research took six years, but has resulted in a book entitled “Priscilla & Babe: From Slavery’s Shackles to Millionaire Bordello Madams in Victorian Saint Louis.” Hunter describes the book as "creative nonfiction" and includes images of the original documents that his efforts uncovered. His program at Library Headquarters this week included many historical tidbits that amazed the audience of nearly 200.

Did you know that our store used to be a Chinese-American Restaurant in the 1970s? These wonderful folks are descendants of the family that ran and operated Chopsticks House at 7270 Manchester Rd. and paid us a visit earlier this month ✨😍 It was so much fun to welcome them to our store and show them around! They all now have a bit of #STL on them ⚜️💙 Photo credit goes to our own @cherylnennert and the 1970's one goes to Mr. Patrick Jugo 🙏�� #zeebeemarket #retailhistory #stlouisgiftshop #shoplocal #maplewood #memorylane #stlhistory @enjoymaplewood (at Zee Bee Market Maplewood) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3w7UMuOaR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

She's still got plenty of life left!! Don't you agree? . Shared from @pete_pagano . Stop it, #stl, just stop it.😳 this thing was built around 1891, original occupant was john quincy van winkle, general superintendent of the big four (central pacific) railroad and great-grandson of a revolutionary war soldier. he didn’t stick around too long; within a couple years he’d sold the place to louis hubbell of hubbell & waterhouse, a carriage-making company. 1897, the house was turned over to robert rutledge, a realtor, who’d go on to occupy the home w his fam for 20+ years. rutledge had a hand in the financing deals that helped build both the int’l life and chemical buildings. in 1924, one of rutledge’s sons accidentally killed himself while cleaning a pistol; he’d survived wwi (or just ww as it was callee back then) and achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel. . #lewisplace #stlouis #northcity #stlhistory #stlarchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouse #brickcity #oldhouselove #architecturaldetail #turret #dormer #housesofinstagram #abandoned #forgotten #boardedup #abandonedplaces #losthistory #urbandecay #deserve2preserve #preservation #BrickStory, #oldhouselove #thisoldhouse #architecture, #housesofinstagram #travelnow, #travelamerica, #deserve2preserve #archigram #architecture_hunter #designdetails .

As I’ve been doing research for my current series I’ve been diving way back into the imagery of St. Louis’s yesteryears and I’ve become a little obsessed with “pre-Arch” scenic St. Louis postcards. They are printed so vividly on gorgeous, linen paper you can see the weave and texture in. I think I’m drawn to them in particular because of their brilliant colors (whereas most other images existing from those eras were in B&W). When the images are in monotones they can feel so distant and disconnected from our current timeline. We live in color; our brains know that and kind of do a “now vs. then” thing when viewing historical images in black and white. But put that past imagery in front of your brain in color and it gets confused a little. With the addition of color, a mind tends to blur the past/present line easier because there’s no interruption or division in color on the timeline. But maybe that’s just my weird color-obsessed brain. 🤷♀️😂⚜️🌈 . The bottom card, “Eads Bridge showing the St. Louis skyline” cracks me up in particular. It predates the Arch by 30 years, and actually predates WWII as well. On the back is a note written by a father to his little boy back home in New Jersey. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #ihavethisthingwithcolor #ihavethisthingwithcolour #colorpop #stlhistory #eadsbridge #stlskyline #downtownstl #downtownstlouis #riverfront #mississippiriver #midwestlife #oldpostcards #stlvintage #vintagestl #localhistory #stlouislove #stllove #whatinspiresme #whatinspiresyou #inmystudio #arteveryday #arteverywhere #researcheverything #neverstoplearning #rainbowconnection #colorlife #liveincolor #rivercity #texturelove #showmestateofmind (at St. Louis Wax Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/BujPvHdhmHu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u959ymrw1qtl
