Lafayette Square Information
Lafayette Square located just south of downtown is a registered "National
Historic District" and is St. Louis's oldest historic district. Victorian
mansions, townhouses and row houses display architectural styles from the Civil
War through the turn of the century. Nearly all of the 375 historic homes in the
neighborhood have been restored to their original beauty over the past 20 years.
It has gradually returned to its beginnings to become once again one of
America's most fashionable Victorian neighborhoods. For all its age, however,
Lafayette Square is a dynamic and thriving area where comfortable city living is
championed by its residents.
In the 1870's and 1880's, the Square was home to the eminent civic and business
leaders of the day. Today, this neighborhood of more than 900 families and
singles has revived the elegance of the city's grand Victorian heyday, when St.
Louis was the fourth largest city in the U.S.
