Demolition in St. Louis

St. Louis has a lot of history contained in the architecture around town. Due to age and condition, some older buildings need to be demolished if they are unsafe or cannot be made safe. Such was the case for the Avalon Theater in the 14th Ward. It was an old one-screen movie theater from the Great Depression era.

But luckily, some people can and are willing to renovate in order to stabilize the building and preserve it for future generations. An 1880s house in Kirkwood is being raised on lifts so that a new foundation and basement can be installed to improve the building. It's worth clicking through to see the pictures of the house way up in the air on steel beams.

It's encouraging to know that even when it may be easier to raze a building, some of them are being preserved for the future. If you are interested in investing in a building that may need some renovation, our sister company Provident Development Group can help. Contact us for more information. And as always, we are ready to manage your income properties.
