postmodern sleaze
Solidity
Designed in 1909 by prominent St. Louis architect George D. Barnett, the Mullanphy Tenement was built for the Mullanphy Emigrant Relief Fund to demonstrate that up-to-date apartments could be developed for working-class people in addition to the wealthy, who already enjoyed modern apartment living. Somewhat like a dormitory the building was divided into 60 1 bedroom apartments on three floors. Four sections of the building have 15 apartments grouped around a central stair. From 1965-66 the building also housed the Mullanphy-Webster center, a preschool funded by Webster University.
The building sold for the last time in 1978 (for $9,000!) and has been vacant for over a decade.
