As soon as I learned this building was meeting its demise, I decided to go check it out. As it turns out, the destruction was already well underway. They had the perimeter all fenced off, but they left one small gap in the fence.

This neighborhood on First Capitol has been abused in the last few years at the hands of the adjacent Lindenwood University. Roughly 5 years ago, they had forced residents out through badgering and harassment and in addition to about 20 nice homes, they demolished the skating rink, drive-in theater, multiple bars and businesses along the road and changed the intersection completely. Now that their dorms are complete, they no longer use these houses and the decision was made to raze everything in this part of town which includes about 30 houses.
I am told there will be a Schnucks and a new post office put up here.
