Perhaps we will make it out there someday to create a special episode. In many ways, St. Louis and Philadelphia are very similar in their 19th century residential architectural styles. Thank you for watching!

@@ThisHouse that would be amazing! I hope you could do that! You would be able to highlight the 19th century while also being able to see many 18th century structures right within center city. There’s even some 17th century homes in philly, but a tad outside the main city area. Only one structure is inside the main city area, the Gloria dei church, was built between 1698-1700s and located within the “old city” neighborhood area of philly. Thanks again though, love the St Louis videos!

Some of those homes on Lafayette Square were vacant for a while and some of them were turned into boarding homes then in the early eighties some people started buying them and rehabbing them and returning them to their former glory a lot of them put more money into it and they will get back one lady told me it was a labor of love

The image up during the section referring to the Peabody Housing Project is not part of the original project. That section was built within the last 2 to 3 decades. The original "Peabodys" were multi-story towers, at least as I knew them from the '70's on through at least the '90's.
