![]() ![]() Wood in St Louis buildings The earliest wood buildings in St. Louis - the log structures built by the fur traders - were mostly demolished as the original townsite became a commercial area. Most of the early frame houses that remain in the City are in Carondelet, but the majority of these have been covered with modern siding so you can't tell what they're really made of. There is another good cluster of late nineteenth century frame houses in the Clifton Heights neighborhood. Because of the fear of fire, most houses after the mid-1850s were not made of wood - the ones which remain are most often found near the city limits. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
