I have ALWAYS loved this house and neighbourhood, and had often longed for the day when I could go to St Louis to find it. To say I was deflated when I read that it was just a set on the backlot, and torn down as well, is an understatement!! WOW, what a loss!!! I LOVE architecture, and the old ones with lots of character get my best interest. Thank you again! I still want to go to St Louis and see the houses you have mentionned though. Best wishes!!

I grew up in the St.Louis area and have toured many homes. Lafayette Square and homes around Tower grove park on south Grand are beautiful. It's always sad when urban blight causes the lose of so many beautiful homes. The movie has always been a favorite of mine. I grew up in the St.Louis area and have toured many homes.

I torture my poor kids with this, Little Women (with Winona Ryder) and the Family Stone. Do you see a trend here? I love big old houses and the families I imagine live inside them!
