Built St. Louis: The North Side
The Slow Death of a City Block: 1900 Montgomery Street

2619 N. 19th Street
This little home, privately owned, sits at the east end of the block, along with its delapitated one-car garage. It is disconnected from the patterns of those around it -- it lacks an attic, has a full, roofed porch, and unequally distributed windows. It suffered a fire and, like the rest of its block, is boarded up.

The concrete foundations of several other garages survived next to it until 2005, when they were removed along with 1902 Montgomery.
