We must be vigilant against being seduced by another Northside Regeneration Paul McKee type Great Man Theory hero. Cities are built and rebuilt by many hands.

Currently it seems St. Louis CSB doesn’t have a reporting option for utility companies violating Ordinance 71943. When you notify them, they just refer it to the company (Spire, obviously). Shouldn’t the Streets Department be documenting issues as part of the enforcement of this? #stlurbanism

1920s building entrances, I will never stop loving you

Color photo of an entrance to a red brick building. The door surround has quoins on steroids, topped by a very pretty cream on blue floral motif.

Color photo of several doors. The center entrance, however, is framed by elaborate terra cotta panels that continue up and form a horizontal band across the other doors and the large storefront windows of the first floor.

Color photo of the entrance to a building. Surrounding a black double door is a two tone mottled terra cotta entrance that incorporates everything from dragons to shields.

Color photo of the entrance to a building. The door surround is of black and gold terra cotta in art deco zig zags, scrolls and curly thingies.

You periodic reminder that 5-over-1s could look exactly like this if the architects had enough humility to learn things long proven to work. But no, it’s trained out of us in architecture school, where I spent 5 years. Been trying to make up for it ever since.
