Antique Row is located in the Southeast section of St. Louis. The area is an historic one. It was settled in the 1700s by German immigrants and is now attempting a revival of the neighborhood.
It differs from other antique areas I have visited because its historic markers commemorate ordinary citizens. Visitors learn about the family who lived in the small houses above the business they conducted.
Small houses standing next to each other display the lovely architecture of the time and are still lived in year around. Shops hold lots of vintage merchandise worth seeing, art galleries and small coffee houses welcome visitors.
No great event seems to have occurred in Antique Row. It was just refreshing to walk about in a neighborhood proud of its heritage and sharing its history with visitors.
Musing about my life at 90+ and other ordinary items now from Bethesda, Maryland.
