Originally marketed as “country living in the city” by developer Cyrus Crane Willmore, St. Louis Hills remains an idyllic, slow-paced suburb within the city of St. Louis. The neighborhood has maintained its charm as well as its small businesses-a meat market, a barbershop, and a frozen custard stand. With thoroughly researched essays and rare historical photography, St. Louis Hills tells the story behind the famous Ted Drewes, the purple sidewalks, the various corner churches, the pastoral Francis Park, and the neighborhood’s architectural variety (Art Deco, tudor, colonial, and other styles can be found… but no two houses are alike). St. Louis Hills marks the inaugural title in the Reedy Community Series, a collection of historical guidebooks on American communities.
