Incredible home in Lafayette Square, a national historic district located just south of downtown St. Louis. Built in 1875 by the Hinckley family. Mr. Hinckley was the engineer who built the Union Pacific railroad West of the Mississippi river. This home lost its third floor in the Great Tornado of 1896 and for decades had a third floor staircase to nowhere. The present owners added the third floor back on in 2014 to restore this home to its original look. Third floor opens to the rooftop deck. The home was gut rehabbed from 2002 to 2005 and now has a very modern interior. Located in the Lafayette Square neighborhood, which frequently is listed in Architectural-based magazines as having one of the finest collections of 1860 to 1880 era Victorian homes. Home to St. Louis's upper classes in the 1880s, the neighborhood was devastated by the Great Tornado of 1896, which started a decades long decline -- finally reversed in the 1970s and most of the neighborhood has now been restored to much of its original grandeur.
