NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION
Summary
The Reber Place Historic District is a six-block area located in the south central section of the city of St. Louis. The
district is bounded by Kingshighway Boulevard on the east, Arsenal Street on the south, Southwest Avenue to the
north, and the north-south alley just east of Hereford Street to the west. The resource count in the district is as
follows:

Extant buildings were constructed beginning in 1888; the period of significance ends in 1957. The district contains a
wide variety of domestic building types and styles from this period. Examples of historic commercial development
are extant along Southwest Avenue and, to a lesser extent, along Kingshighway Boulevard. There is also one church
and the associated school, convent and rectory buildings (the former Holy Innocents Roman Catholic parish
complex). The center median strips of Reber Place (1885) and Magnolia Avenue (1926) are counted as contributing
sites. There are also three noncontributing structures: two carports and a banking drive-through.
Setting
The Reber Place Historic District is located on one of the highest points in the City of St. Louis. The site slopes
gently upward from northeast to southwest; the citys highest point is less than a mile to the west. Kingshighway
Boulevard, the eastern boundary, is a broad tree-lined street, made even more verdant by the presence of Tower
Grove Park along the east side of the street. The central street of the subdivision is also called Reber Place. It runs
east-west with a 50 foot wide center median, which is included in the resource count as a contributing site. Including
the median, the street is 130 feet wide. The eastern end of Reber Place is centered across from the western gate of
Tower Grove Park (Photo 1).
Odell Street and Magnolia Avenue parallel Reber place to the north and south; both are 80 feet wide. Magnolia
Avenue also has a narrow median (added in 1926) which is counted as a contributing resource. The northern two
residential streets, Columbia and Botanical Avenues, are 60 feet wide. The streets are well-planted with shade and
ornamental trees, although there are gaps in some locations.
Between Arsenal and Columbia, the blocks are divided with north-south alleys separating the buildings that face out
along the narrow east and west block faces from the rest of the streets. In comparable developments, the center
section of the block would be further bisected by an east-west alley behind the remaining buildings. This is in fact
the case on the southern and northern residential blocks in the district. The center three blocks, however, are without
full length alleys; most properties back up directly to each other, and where garages are present, they are reached by

driveways from the street.1 A corollary of this, affecting this nomination, is that many of the ancillary buildings are
only partially visible from the public right-of-way, and only at a great distance. This is reflected in the descriptions
and evaluations below.
The west-facing lots at the end of the southern four blocks of the district are excluded from district boundaries. The
tract houses on these blocks were developed in 197 7 as part of a single project, and are part of a different
development story than the remainder of the district. Most of these lots were historically open until that time,
although there were some small buildings that faced the Blackmer & Post plant (demolished) across the street to the
west.2
The northern boundary of the district is commercial in nature, befitting development on a major historic road. All of
the commercial buildings on the northern block of the district date from the period of significance but have
undergone different degrees of alterations. At the northwestern end of the district there is a secondary commercial
area which developed later at the intersection of the commercial corridor (Southwest Avenue) and the industrial
corridor (the Oak Hill & Carondelet Railroad). The buildings on the south side of Southwest reflect both
commercial and light industrial original uses.
Architectural character
Because the district developed slowly over a period of many years, a wide variety of residential types and styles are
represented. Dwellings constructed in the 19th century are generally large single-family homes on large lots. Many
of the remaining early houses are brick with Romanesque and Queen Anne detailing. Extant frame houses from the
19th century are more likely to exemplify the asymmetrical massing of the Queen Anne style, and many retain
decorative detailing. By 1910, as the early pretensions of the neighborhood drifted away with the smoke from the
almost-adjacent Blackmer and Post plant (no longer extant), houses were more likely to be simpler and smaller. The
many single-story brick houses with front parapet walls reflect a builder-born homegrown vernacular which is
extremely common throughout St. Louis neighborhoods of this period. Early bungalows in the neighborhood also
reflect the smaller and simpler direction of housing. Around the same time, two- and four-family flats were also first
constructed in the district.
During this period the original builder-developers of the city had an enormous impact on the landscape, and this is
true in Reber Place as well. More than two-thirds of the northern residential block was the work of just a handful of
builders, lending that section of the district more consistent streetscapes than the southern blocks. Walk-up
apartments and individual bungalows were common in the 1920s. By the end of the decade, the majority of the
parcels had been built out, but there was still more work to do. Into the 1950s, infill housing on previously vacant
lots (and the sites of some demolished early frame buildings) finished the residential streetscape of the district.
The streetscape of Kingshighway Boulevard deserves special mention. Many premium lots facing Tower Grove
Park attracted expensive, high style buildings. A previous survey identified 2721, 2727, and 2823 Kingshighway as
individually eligible for the National Register in the area of Architecture. The four-building Holy Innocents complex
is also eligible in the area of Architecture, as are the Fitch Residence at 4943 Reber Place and the Lasher House at
4964 Reber Place.
The original Reber Place plat included alleys; the date(s) that they were vacated remains an unanswered research question.
It is assumed that the undeveloped lots were owned by a single entity which prevented building through most of the 20th
century; this is another open research question.

Integrity
The Reber Place Historic District retains integrity. There are large parking lots at the northeast and southeast corners
of the districts that serve the large businesses. At the northeast corner of the district, many buildings were
demolished to create the parking lot and drive-through lanes for M&I Bank (historically Southwest Bank), which has
steadily expanded into adjacent storefronts until it occupies the entire Kingshighway street frontage between
Southwest and Botanical. At the southeast corner of the district, a non-historic Walgreens store uses a large parking
lot at the intersection of Kingshighway and Arsenal. These two parking lots, along with the Walgreens itself, are
visual disturbances at the district edges, but have little effect on most of the residential resources.
Most of the vacant lots in the district are parcels which have always been undeveloped. These include lots at 4989
Magnolia, two undeveloped lots on the south side of Reber Place, and the parcel at 4943 Columbia.
The nine frame buildings that were extant in Reber Place in 1903 have fared proportionately worse than their brick
counterparts. Possible explanations include the relatively less durable material, the size of the early houses (large
houses would have been less in demand in the 20th century), and the reuse potential of lots on which they were built.
Of the nine original frame buildings, only four are extant. Two were replaced by multi-unit brick buildings during
the period of significance, one was moved in 1922 to make way for the new church at 4900 Reber, and two of the
sites are now vacant lots (4940 Reber, demolished by 1951, and 4924 Odell, demolished since 1951.)
Individual buildings in the district are said to retain integrity if they retain most of their character-defining features,
expressed in form, materials, and detailing. All buildings in the district retain integrity of setting and location.
Individual building descriptions
Most individual building descriptions are derived from the survey report document Southwest Garden
Neighborhood Cultural Resource Survey and its associated database, prepared for the City of St. Louis by Sally
Schwenk and Associates (Kansas City), dated May 2010. As mentioned above, many of the ancillary buildings are
not easily described from the public right-of-way. Many building permits are missing for the blocks south of
Columbia, making identification more difficult. Where possible, dates are established by other means including
house numbering certificates, City Assessor records (which are usually accurate for late 20th century buildings),
maps, and directories.
One term held over from the original survey which may require definition is the description of porches as Other
Bay. This designation generally refers to a roofed porch at the right or left bay (not the center bay) of the faade.
Buildings are listed in alphanumeric order.

over brick infill; the shape of the original opening is clear because the original sill is intact. This non-historic
alteration damages the integrity of the building, but it is still considered contributing because its character as a brick
two-family building is still conveyed. A hipped porch with square brick support posts shelters the entrances at the
west end bays. The brown brick wall cladding below the water table contrasts and complements the red brick above.
There is a slightly projecting brick course below the windowsills. The stone windowsills are continuous on the first
story. Basement windows are infilled with glass block. the original quarter-light Craftsman-style wood entrance

This building has two primary elevations north and east. Single windows, paired windows, single entrances, and a

from the west end. Single windows define the eight bays in the east elevation. Other features include: polychromatic

and stone statue of Saint Mary; the soldier brick courses along the top and bottom of the brick wall facing; the header
brick courses between each windowsill; the stone window lintels and sills; the historic six-over-six light double-hung
wood windows behind modern storm units; the buttresses at regular intervals; the tabbed ashlar stone surrounds at
each entrance and some windows; the ashlar stone corner quoins; and the original double half-turn stone stair leading
to the convent entrance with the original decorative metal railing.
The 1951 Sanborn Fire Insurance map shows this building as a basement only, with the notation that it was "built in
1938." A permit from that year states that the new 1938 building was considered an alteration of the 1922 church
that had stood on the site. It appears likely, then, that some portion of the original church (perhaps only the
foundations) is extant. Wayman notes that the building as we know it dates to 1953, presumably the date that the
basement was finally capped with its exuberant Moderne first story.

Summary
The Reber Place Historic District is locally significant under National Register Criterion C in the area of
Community Planning and Development. Reber Place reflects both the ambitious aspirations of its
founders and a series of [plater development patterns based on streetcar access, the presence of industry,
and the rise of the builder/developer as a key force in the landscape of middle-class St. Louis. It is
associated with the history of development in St. Louis as described in the City of St. Louis Preservation
Plan context statement Community Planning. This six-block area, tightly confined between Tower
Grove Park and the Oak Hill and Carondelet Railroad, has significant associations with patterns of
residential planning usually seen in the successful private places of St. Louis, with rail-oriented suburban
development, and with later typical patterns associated with the rise of the builder-developer and the
streetcar grid. The period of significance begins in 1885, when the first contributing feature (Reber
Places defining central median) was created, and ends in 1957, when the neighborhoods major
institution, Holy Innocents Parish, completed its building program. With the exception of commercial
intrusions and parking lots at the northeast and southeast lots of the district, Reber Place is exceptionally
intact. There are a total of 367 resources, including the center park strips on Reber Place and Magnolia
Ave. Of the 243 primary buildings, 227 retain integrity to convey their historic associations.
Early history
The Reber Place Historic District lies at the eastern edge of the property granted by the Spanish
authorities to Charles Gratiot. The tract known as the Gratiot League Square was divided up in the first
half of the 19th century, and by 1868, Samuel Reber had purchased a portion of what had become the
Cooper tract, located along the north side of the Arsenal road and the west side of what had become
Kings highway (Figure 1).3 The Compton & Dry view of 1876 shows the newly completed western
gate of Tower Grove Park facing out onto land that is dotted with haystacks (Figures 2-3). All of the
park frontage at the western edge of the park (across Kingshighway) was owned by Samuel and Margaret
Reber.
Samuel Reber was known in St. Louis as a circuit court judge of good judgment and mild temper. He
wrote the well-known (and controversial) majority opinion upholding Missouris anti-Confederate test
oath at about the same time the United States Supreme Court was striking it down. 4 Judge Reber died in
1879, leaving Margaret with two tracts of land west of Tower Grove Park.
In the years following Judge Rebers death, there was good reason to believe that this piece of property
could become one of the most valuable in the city. While most of the immediate area had a rural
character, there were several important roads adjoining the property. Tower Grove Park was improved
with impressive structures, including a major gate and house at each of the four entrances. Opposite the
3
The transition from Kings Highway to Kingshighway seems to have taken place in the second or third decade of the 20th
century.
4
The Supreme Courts decision was handed down in May 1866, a month before Rebers opinion was authored, but it was not
published until the following year.

Reber tract, the west entrance was adorned with a small limestone Gothic gatehouse and tall octagonal
towers, constructed beginning in 1870. Pedestrian gates were added in 1879 (Figures 2-3).
As early as 1883, plans were advanced at the Board of Public Improvement for a boulevard system which
would pave and landscape Kingshighway as far south as Tower Grove Park.5 Henry Flad told the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch that for every $10 that adjoining property owners were assessed for the
improvements, their property values were likely to rise by $30.
Mrs. Rebers property was not the first tract in the area to be subdivided. A mile to the north, houses
were springing up along the tracks of the Missouri Pacific Railroad near the clay and coal works of what
is now The Hill neighborhood. But with its platting in 1885, the Reber subdivision clearly had
aspirations that the typical street grid couldnt match. The centerpiece, Reber Place, would be a 130 foot
wide street including a 50 foot median. The streets to the north and south, Magnolia and Odell, were a
very generous 80 feet. The park gates were set back from Kingshighway, resulting in a thoroughfare
some 100 feet wide at that point, narrowing to a mere 50 feet to either side. To remedy this inadequacy,
Mrs. Rebers plat included a 10 foot wide strip along Kingshighway dedicated for the future widening of
that road. Although Reber Place was never a private street, the scale of the development was comparable
to Vandeventer Place, the citys most elite private enclave.
A potential problem arose from the fact that the Reber tract was much longer north-south than it was
deep: while it had the full frontage of the park along Kingshighway, the platted streets extended only 12
lots deep past the alley behind Kingshighway. On the original plat, the lines of the street are drawn in on
the neighboring properties as an aid to the imagination, until they met up with streets already laid out on
Mrs. Rebers other property to the west.6
Precedent and context: Medians and the exclusive residential street

With its 130-foot width and median park, Reber Place had attributes that were rare even among St.
Louis elite private streets. Residential streets with similar park features would become prevalent in the
city later, and would include Westmoreland and Portland Places (1888), Lewis Place (1890), and Flora
Place (1897). However, prior to 1885 only four significant streets with central park space had been
platted and developed: St. Louis Place, Benton Place, Vandeventer Place and Shaw Place. The citys
first private street named as a Place and set aside for the construction of large single-family homes was
Lucas Place, laid out in 1851.7 However Lucas Place did not have any median park.
The earliest residential street with its own median park space was St. Louis Place in north St. Louis.
When laid out by Col. John OFallon and his fellow investors in 1850, St. Louis Place was a linear north5

south park faced with wide residential lots. Originally the parcels ended right at the park line, with only
walking paths separating the private and public spaces, but by 1877 two narrow streets had been installed
on each side.8 As with Reber Place, long-term development would lead to a mix of large residences,
multi-family buildings and institutional buildings rather than large residences. St. Louis Place Park was
owned by the city, not the property owners.
In Lafayette Square, the first private places were Preston Place and Park Place, included in the 1859
Lafayette Addition.9 However it was not until 1868 that Montgomery Blair opened the Julius Pitzmandesigned cul-de-sac Benton Place, the citys second private place with a central park feature. Strict deed
restrictions limited construction to large residences set back twenty-five feet from the street, and all
owners owned the central elliptical median in common.10 Unlike St. Louis Place, Benton Place was
privately owned and remote. Stone entrance gates were placed at its only entrance to mark it as truly
private, while St. Louis Place was central to the neighborhood and eventually connected through the
street grid to the surrounding neighborhood. Benton Place would be developed uniformly with large
houses and remains intact.
Benton Place influenced Pitzmans 1870 plan for the now-demolished Vandeventer Place. Developed by
architect and developer Charles H. Peck, Vandeventer Place was laid out with 86 large residential lots
centered around a long east-west median park. The street and park were privately owned, and owners
could only use the park by paying annual dues. Deed restrictions were detailed and extensive; thirty-foot
setbacks, $10,000 minimum construction cost, front step cleaning schedules and other items were
included.11 Although the Panic of 1873 kept development at a slow pace, by the 1880s the street was
being built out with mansions for the citys foremost families designed by architects of both local and
national stature.12 Vandeventer Place realized on a grand scale the exclusive, long-form private place
with median park that St. Louis Place had attempted with modest results.
Another cul-de-sac private place with a median park space at center was Shaw Place of 1878 in the Shaw
neighborhood, just west of Grand Avenue off of DeTonty Avenue. With a single entrance at the north
end, elliptical plan and strict deed restrictions, Shaw Place clearly follows the plan of Benton Place. The
ten similar houses on Shaw Place were built in two phases and designed by architect George I. Barnett,
who also designed the plan for Henry Shaw. The result is a coherent group of buildings with central
median park. Architectural historian Charles Savage asserts that consistency with its predecessors may
have been a significant factor in Shaw Places development.13 Savage suggests that Barnett deliberately
emulated Benton and Vandeventer places.
Reber Place was the citys next street with a median park, and borrows from both the cul-de-sac plans of
Benton and Shaw places as well as the grandiose median plans of St. Louis and Vandeventer places.
Reber Place is noteworthy in relationship to another significant street near Tower Grove Park, Flora

Place. Flora Avenue had been laid out by 1859 linking Grand Avenue to the main entrance of Shaws
Garden to the west. However, development would not come until 1897. That year, the property owners
of the southern parcel joined with the Gardens trustees that controlled the northern parcel14 to create a
luxurious six-block private street with a central median park. Stone gates went up at Grand Avenue to
mark the newly private realm of the street, although the original path was retained. Development of
housing following deed restrictions ensured a coherent range of elegant single-family and, later, multifamily residences. Although the path of Flora Place had already been laid, the elegant path line of
median parks leading to the stone entrance of Shaws Garden followed the pattern already set by Reber
Places path line to the western gate of Tower Grove Park.
Plans change: the St. Louis, Oak Hill and Carondelet Railroad
Mrs. Reber signed off on the creation of the new subdivision in September, 1885. It is clear from the plat
map that the east-west streets were expected to continue across neighboring unimproved property and
meet up with the same streets already existing to the west. But by June, 1886, only nine months later, the
route of the new St. Louis, Oak Hill and Carondelet Railroad was introduced in the Municipal
Assembly.15
Between 1879 1881, Jay Gould acquired both the Missouri Pacific line, running west from downtown,
and the Iron Mountain line along the south riverfront.16 In 1881 there was already discussion of a rail
route through south St. Louis which would connect the two. George Ward Parker, President of the City
Council as well as the Parker-Russell manufacturing interests south of Tower Grove Park, exerted
powerful pressure to run the line near his plant. The railroad would permanently separate Mrs. Rebers
subdivision from the tracts to the west.
The presence of a railroad connection could spur residential development, as in St. Louis commuter
suburbs including Kirkwood, Webster Groves and Ferguson. The arrival of the railroad could also attract
industry. In Reber Place, it did both. A few months after the route of the line was introduced in the
Municipal Assembly, a large parcel along the railroad, roughly the same size north-south as Tower Grove
Park, was purchased by the Blackmer & Post sewer and tile company. It is the intention of the
purchasers to erect extensive works there for their business, an article in the Post-Dispatch reported,
and this new road will make the site a most eligible one for them. They are right in the line now of all
the extensive pottery and fire clay-works in the city, they being all grouped in the southwestern part of
the city.17

Mrs. Reber sold all of her interest in the Reber Subdivision in 1887, having sold only four full lots and
four partial lots. She received $30,000 for the property.
The new owner, Mrs. Flora Haydock of Cincinnati, immediately put the development and promotion of
her property into the hands of her agents, Rutledge & Horton. The Post-Dispatch covered the merits of
the development in some detail:
They were instructed to make a first-class addition out of the property, and no expense or
pains have been spared to accomplish that object. The streets have all been graded and
macadamized, with a top dressing of gravel. Gutters are provided at the curb, and over
7,000 feet of granitoid paving has been laid five feet wide. Under the whole place there
is a sewer system with connections to each lot, the main branch being 4 feet in diameter
with a small creek running through and flushing it at all times. A 10-inch water-main
runs through the property from one end to the other affording a protection against fire
and a sprinkling supply such as no other equally remote place can boast of. There is city
gas also and the Shaw public school near by. In this school-yard there is a profusion of
shade, the trees having been planted several years ago by Henry Shaw. Well shaded
avenues are a pretty attraction for any residence spot and in this particular it is proposed
that Reber place shall not be outdone for it is intended this fall to plant a double row of
trees on each side of the granitoid walks and also over the lots. The effect produced by
this plan will be something like a continuation of Tower Grove Park. All the streets in
Reber place are 80 feet wide, while Kings highway at its eastern entrance is 100 feet in
width. It may be stated here that the city contemplates widening Kings highway to 180
feet opposite Reber place with a 50-foot park strip in the center in front of the west
entrance to Tower Grove Park, the boulevard to be extended and highly improved all the
way to Forest Park.18
In 1888, a far-sighted investor could have seen a promising location, an easy rail connection to
downtown, the announcement of an elevated rail line in the near future, and 50 lots available at low
prices in order to give Reber place a good start.19 Plans had been announced for the extension of the
streets of Reber Place all the way to the Blackmer & Post site (Figure 6), although this would not actually
occur until West Reber Place was dedicated in 1893. Streetcar access was on its way the Tower Grove
line ran to Kingshighway via Arsenal by the early 1890s, and the Southhampton line down Kingshighway
was in service by about 1897.20 The City established a Boulevard law in 1891, which was in effect
(although little used) until 1897.
This fictional investor may also have felt confidence in Reber Place because of restrictive language
inserted into the deeds of property that Mrs. Haydock sold. Setback lines were established to maintain
consistency (although, significantly for future development, they were never added to the plats).

Before West Reber Place got off the ground, the two-block wedge between Reber Place and Southwest
Avenue was laid out. Cleves subdivision was dedicated by owner Philip Key with 60 streets (Magnolia
and his portion of Columbia). While the plat is dated 1892, development was slow here.
One important transportation consideration which may have impeded development was the difficulty of
crossing the many railroad tracks located in the Mill Creek Valley. Former Mayor Rolla Wells
explained that when he took office in 1901,
there was no bridge connection between the northern and southern part of the city
crossing the Mill Creek Valley west of Grand Avenue. The two sections of the city
[north and south] west of Grand Avenue were literally isolated, for the reason that the
only connections were one or two dangerous grade crossings, particularly the one at
Kingshighway. Anticipating the opening of the Worlds Fair [1904], an appropriation of
about forty thousand dollars was utilized for constructing a temporary wooden bridge at
the Kingshighway crossing of the railroad tracks. This enabled the people living in the
southern part of the city to reach the Exposition in comfort and safety.21
By the time the 1903 Sanborn map was published, the only blocks in the district that were close to fully
developed were the north side of Reber Place and the south side of Magnolia. The smaller lots of West
Reber Place (25 as opposed to 50) were undeveloped. There are no houses in Cleves subdivision,
although the first section of the commercial block at the corner of Southwest and Kingshighway is in
place.
In contrast, the Blackmer & Post plant occupied its full site with three large brick buildings along with
kilns, sheds, and other smaller structures. Fifteen different smokestacks, most 65 feet tall, are on the
map. A Missouri mining and geology report of 1896 described the site:
This is the largest plant in Missouri that is exclusively devoted to the manufacture of
sewerpipe. At present the entire plant is concentrated at Reber Place station, on the Oak
Hill railroad, where the first plant was erected in 1887. the growing demand for a
railroad crowded out [the companys previous] sites, which resulted in the final
rebuilding of both plants at Reber place, in 1893.22
The same report published a plate of the complex (Figure 7), which clearly overshadowed its neighbors.
Unsurprisingly, the 1903 map shows eleven dwellings built facing the park, but none facing the factory.
Adding to the attraction of the east side of the subdivision, in 1902 the mayor appointed a Kingshighway
Boulevard Commission to create a plan for the permanent improvement of Kingshighway throughout its
entire length which will not only provide an attractive boulevard and pleasure drive, but will be a
continuous connection between Carondelet, Forest, OFallon Parks and the cemeteries.23 The

commission hired George Kessler to create the plan, which was voted into law in 1907.24 Over
subsequent decades, portions of the Kingshighway plan were followed. Its imprint on the landscape is
most visible along Holly Hills Boulevard (formerly and temporarily assigned the title of Kingshighway
Southwest) and Bellerive (formerly Kingshighway Southeast.)
One effect of the new law was to establish a building line for new construction on many sections of the
road. In Reber Place, Mrs. Haydock had already attempted to do the same thing by writing a clause into
deeds. Like many other restrictive instruments, the enforceability of these provisions was questionable
and their weaknesses were exposed when challenged.25
In 1908, owner Frank Cobbs (via the Gravois Improvement Company) received permits to construct five
dwellings at the southwest corner of Odell and Kingshighway. Four faced Kingshighway. When he
began the foundation for the house at 4916 Odell, neighbors realized he ignored the 40 setback that the
rest of them had observed. The new building was to be placed fifteen feet from the street line. Next door
neighbor J. Adam Doerr sued. Doerrs initial victory was reversed on appeal, and Cobbs built the house
which now stands at 4916 Odell (Photo 21). While the ruling was not applicable to restrictions outside
of Reber Place, it did reaffirm a set of criteria that would be used to judge the validity of restrictive
conveyances in many future cases.26 By 1926, there were at least four more buildings on Arsenal, Reber,
Odell, and Columbia which did not observe the 40 setback.27
Changing building types and development patterns in the 20th century
In 1903, 62 of the 66 primary buildings constructed in Reber Place were single dwellings. The remaining
four were pairs of attached townhouses. By 1926, more than half of the new buildings in Reber Place
were multi-family dwellings (two and four family flats as well as four-family walkup apartment
buildings.) There were now two shops facing Kingshighway, along with a filling station and a church
(both now demolished). Cleves subdivision immediately north had developed into a complementary
subdivision with neat rows of bungalows and townhouses. Most of the new buildings were modest single
family dwellings. During this period, Cleves subdivision saw more growth than Reber Place. This likely
had to do with the availability of tracts of multiple lots, which were becoming attractive to the new
generation of builders. For example, the houses between 4545-69 Columbia and 5007-23 Columbia were
all constructed between 1912-1914 by Sam Koplar, who would later be known for large-scale
developments such as the Congress and Senate apartments and the Park Plaza Hotel. The shift from a
system of owners contracting for individual houses to developers doing speculative building is typical of

See Waterman Place-Kingsbury Place-Washington Terrace Historic District National Register of Historic Places registration
form, for challenges to the platted restrictions in Washington Terrace, St. Louis. More famously, St. Louis was also the site of
one of the most important challenges to a different kind of covenant, resulting in the landmark Shelley v. Kraemer case.
26
The decision from the St. Louis Court of Appeals was published in The Southwestern Reporter (Annotated) v. 123 . St. Paul:
West Publishing Co., 1910, p 547-551. An internet search for Doerr v. Cobbs yields a number of other cases which cite this one,
and an appearance in an often-republished book on conveyance law. The ruling was fairly specific about why the restrictions
could not be enforced: the restrictions, which were supposed to be in perpetuity, were omitted from the deed to Cobbs; also, the
Court could not find evidence that anyone other than Flora Haydock and her heirs was meant to benefit from the restriction (no
evidence was presented that this was part of a plan for the public good), and therefore the plaintiff lacked standing.

this period. The practice increased in the 1920s (when Sam Koplar constructed another nine houses on
the 2500 block of Kingshighway).(Photo 4)
Architectural identity
Contributing buildings of the district were constructed over a period of more than 70 years, and reflect an
identifiable pattern of evolution in both style and property type. The first buildings in Reber Place were
large single-family homes built on 50-foot lots. In the 1890s, a few of the large lots were split up, and
houses were built on some of the smaller lots in the additions of West Reber Place and Cleves
subdivision. Some of the early houses were constructed on a speculative basis, but large-scale
construction by developers didnt start in this neighborhood until about 1910, when owner/builder Albert
Finch constructed eighteen two-family buildings, fifteen of which are still adjacent along Botanical and
Southwest (two of the remaining three are on the other side of Botanical, and the last one was
demolished). Developer Sam Koplar filled out much of the rest of the same block with bungalows in
1912 -1914.
Fifteen years after the first house was constructed, the only multi-family dwellings were a few attached
townhouses. The first multi-family flats in the area were constructed in 1906, but the type was still
uncommon in the neighborhood until Finch built the flats referenced above in 1910. In 1922, the first of
the neighborhoods 18 four-family walkup apartments were built. Construction remained slow but steady
through the 1920s. Still, not every lot was filled in.
Activity came to a temporary standstill during the Great Depression; the only residential building
constructed in the 1930s was Austin & Evelyn Fitchs home at 4943 Reber Place (Photo 19). Austin
Fitch taught at Washington Universitys School of Architecture and designed the handsome Prairieinfluenced residence with three units to house his extended family. Evelyn Fitch was a respected artist.
In 1941, construction began to pick up again. Three of the six primary buildings from this decade are
commercial buildings near the intersection of Southwest and Columbia. Additional construction in the
1950s included a new property type, the duplex, as well as single-family dwellings, commercial
buildings, and Holy Innocents Catholic parishs impressive new church at 2833 S. Kingshighway (Photo
8). During this period, most of the new construction was on lots that had remained open since the
subdivisions were originally platted. A few houses were constructed on the sites of earlier frame
buildings. The Fitch residence described above was actually constructed on the foundation of an earlier
frame house; the original carriage barn is still extant in the back yard.
Holy Innocents Parish

After the creation of the German St. Aloysius Gonzaga Parish in 1892, many English-speaking Catholics
wanted their own parish in this vicinity.28 The Archdiocese responded by creating Holy Innocents Parish
in 1893, with a dividing line at Elizabeth Avenue between it and the existing English-language St. James

Parish in Cheltenham. Along with St. Marks, St. Matthews and St. Edwards on the north side, Holy
Innocents was one of four Irish parishes to open in the city in 1893.29 The first building was a one-story
gabled frame building at 2721 Brannon Avenue west of the Oak Hill and Carondelet railroad (no longer
extant) dedicated on August 13, 1893.30 Reverend John White was the founding pastor.31 According to
the history St. James Parish by Reverend P. J. OConnor, under Reverend White Holy Innocents
remained a poor parish.32
The next pastor, Reverend T. F. OSullivan, was successful in opening the parish parochial elementary
school, staffed by the Sisters of the Precious Blood, in 1922.33 The next pastor, Reverend Leo McAtee,
was noted by Revered OConnor for splendid efforts to build the spiritual and temporal welfare of the
Parish.34 These efforts led to the construction of a foundation for a new church at Reber Place and
Kingshighway in 1938. For the next two decades, this unfinished building would serve as the parish
church.
In 1942, Holy Innocents built a large new school building on Reber Place in the District at 4926 Reber
Place to the west of the future church. Plans changed and the parish decided to purchase the site at Odell
and Kingshighway for the church, which was completed in 1957. The old foundation structure was
expanded as a convent and parish hall. The period of significance closes with the completion of Holy
Innocents building program.

Verbal Boundary Description

The Reber Place Historic District is bounded to the north by Southwest Avenue, to the east by Kingshighway
Boulevard, and to the south by Arsenal Street. North of Arsenal, the western boundary runs along the alley east of
Hereford Street to Columbia, with notches out to the west at Reber Place and Magnolia to include the entirety of the
historic medians. From Hereford, the boundary follows Columbia to the west to the end of the lot numbered 5134
Columbia. Columbia meets Southwest on the other side of a vacant triangular lot; the boundary excludes this lot.
The boundary is indicated by a heavy black line on the associated historic district map.
Boundary Justification
This historic district is located in a tight area geographically isolated from other compatible historic development.
Tower Grove Park (NHL 1989) runs along most of the west side of the district and predates development in the
district. Across the southern boundary, Arsenal Street, is the vast Southwest High School, which cuts Reber Place
off from the neighborhood to the south. The western boundary is an alley because the lots to the other side were
developed in the late 1970s; these houses face the site of the Blackmer and Post plant which played an important part
in the districts development. Across the northern boundary, Southwest Avenue, there are no traces of the original
small-scale commercial district on the site; the buildings that remain are either modern (such as the corner gas
station) or large midcentury warehouse or industrial complexes.
