A remarkable building borrowing from multiple ancient styles with a "replica" of the Mausoleum of Maussollos at the top including a stair step pyramid roof.

Died aged 79 not 80.

This is the former L. Douglas Abram Federal Building, now owned by the City of St Louis and simply referred to as "1520 Market Street"

My home on the Hill.

Correction: Variant names for this building are Social House, Social House Soulard, and Soulard Social House.

Born in 1940 I grew up in a four-family flat just south of Barrett Brothers Park. At that time our building, 5865-67, was surrounded on the west and north by open fields. To the north along the park ran the Wabash Railroad, with the Cannonball and Bluebird coming within five minutes of each other each morning heading for Detroit and Chicago. To the west ran the City Limits streetcar line on an enbankment one block south of Kienlen Avenue. On Roosevelt we had no idea that a five-minute walk away was the totally different world of the Normandy School District. My father was a streetcar motorman and took me and my brother on rides to Ferguson and other faraway spots on his one day off a week. It was strange to grow up in large city that within a few steps turned into a rural setting. Our downstairs neighbor even had a stable and horses next to the flat. The area was a melting pot of Catholics, Protestants, Jews of every ethnic origin imaginable and we all formed one big family. The 1940s were so innocent by today's standards it really is unimaginable to most people. The park played a big role in the lives of us children who lived near it as when I was growing up there were very few organized activities for kids in the summer. We made our own fun right close to home.

ten story slide is the best

My mom and dad lived on Dahlia from 1970 till the mid 90s. Good little neighborhood.
