Architectural Scrap

Archetecture Scrapyard

I has some trouble figuring out where to park and enter the grounds on my first visit to the STL Swap Meet. While I was wandering, I saw a small gated courtyard in the brewery that faced the street. It held the frames of two quatrefoil windows, probably from a demolished church, and some other architectural scrap. The frames looked to be solid enough to restore. Where they will end up I cannot guess.

Anyone who is interested in this sort of thing should check Chris Naffziger's excellent blog, St. Louis Patina, about the decay of our city's architectural heritage.
