Vandeventer Building
St. Louis, MO
The Vandeventer Building was built in 1935. It originally housed the Victor Creamery Company. The building housed the Los Arcos del Caporal, a Mexican restaurant, when these photos were taken in 2010. The business has changed at least twice since then but the building still houses a Mexican restaurant. For more, see this website. [map]

The Continental Life Building was designed by William B. Ittner and completed in 1930. The building was converted into apartments around 2001. For more, see this website. [map]

Progressive Cafeteria & Banquet Center [gone]
St. Louis, MO
The Progressive Cafeteria & Banquet Center originally housed the Pine Lawn Bank & Trust. This building had been vacant since at least 2005 and probably much longer than that. It was demolished in 2013. For more, see this website.

LeGrand's Market
St. Louis, MO
LeGrand's Market was built as a Tom-Boy supermarket in 1936. In 1990, the name was changed to LeGrand's. Tom-Boy was a St. Louis area regional chain with more than two dozen locations. I don't believe there are any locations left. For more, see this website. [map]

Vestal Chemical Company

The Vestal Chemical Company building appears to be from the 1920s or 1930s. It was vacant when this photo was taken in 2012. By 2017, the building was housing an EZ Storage. [map]

Calgon-Vestal Building [gone]

The Calgon-Vestal Building was built in 1950. It was located next door to the building described directly above. The building must have been part of a company expansion. It was vacant when this photo was taken in 2012. It was demolished around 2015.
