Reseña del editor

Tower Grove is a brief history of a collection of neighborhoods - Tower Grove East, Tower Grove Heights, Oak Hill - that surround Tower Grove Park. Built out shortly after the turn of the century, the Tower Grove area has been the bedrock of South St. Louis over the last one hundred years. It is steeped in traditional St. Louis but has become a haven for a diverse cross section of people and cultures. Tower Grove describes the early development of this unique area and discusses Henry Shaw s vision for Tower Grove Park, as well as the role that the park has played in community life. It also explores the identity of the various neighborhoods to the south and east of the park and their interaction with each other. In addition, Tower Grove highlights the important streets, people, landmarks, and institutions that have shaped a fascinating community and, by extension, a historic city.
