History:
"The LaSalle Park Multiple Resource Area is a nineteenth century German/Czech immigrant neighborhood located just south of St. Louis central business district. Out of approximately 130 contributing buildings standing in the two nominated Districts, all but seven are residential although several combine typical first story commercial uses with second story flats. The seven pivotal buildings include three churches, two parochial schools, a Turnverein and a large industrial complex filling a full city block. Constructed between 1844 and 1913, the majority of the buildings are two stories high and all but a few stone fronts are red brick and the predominate nineteenth century building material in St. Louis."
