Home’s History

Built in 1917, this home has stood as a testament to the enduring character of the Riverside neighborhood. 

Over a century ago, Riverside was a burgeoning community, benefiting from the industrial growth of the nearby St. Louis River and the development of railroads. 

This house has witnessed the transformation of the area from its early days of bustling industrial activity to a peaceful residential enclave. 

The solid construction typical of the early 20th century has allowed it to withstand the test of time, offering modern homeowners a glimpse into the past while providing a sturdy foundation for future generations.
