Program Description

Event Details

Discover information on historical people, places, or things. 

St Louis has houses with windows in their chimneys, and houses made out of steel, made out of dirt, made out of cement blocks.  

People live in castles, tiny houses, caves, gas stations, shipping containers, firehouses, and former brothels. Some houses cost a dollar, and some cost $20,000,000. 

This talk will take you on an armchair visit to houses in St. Louis that make you say WOW.
