What the houses are like in Tower Grove East

Mostly built: 1880s to 1910s

Victorian brick townhouses and flats running right up to the edge of Tower Grove Park, many with the tall ceilings, transom windows and decorative brickwork of the period. A good share have been split into apartments over the years, then partly put back.

Older and more ornamental than the blocks just south, with a lot of owner rehabs in progress at any given time.
