Historic Lafayette Square
Unique Architecture in Lafayette Square
Lafayette Square is the oldest historic district in St. Louis. This historic area is comprised of many restaurants, shops, and is one of the first parks west of the Mississippi. However in
the 1920′s the neighborhood around Lafayette Park was a neglected, slightly disreputable part of the near southside. The grandeur of Lafayette Square’s Victorian era remained only a faded memory. Even amidst the decay and neglect, the neighborhood never lost its Victorian charm and unique character.In the late 1960′s a small core of individuals with a fondness for old homes entered the scene. Eager to accept challenge, they organized the Lafayette Square Restoration Committee and encouraged others to discover the rewards of restoration in a cosmopolitan urban atmosphere.
Subsequently, Lafayette Square has enjoyed a resurgence unparalleled in St Louis during an era of mass exodus to the suburbs.
In 1972 the city acknowledged, by ordinance, Lafayette Square as its first historic district. In 1973 the U.S. Congress placed Lafayette Square on the National Register of Historic Places. A Historic Code preserves the neighborhood for future generations to see and enjoy.
