Eclectic Town Houses
Not all houses built during the Walking City period strictly followed one stylistic format. The Campbell House, at 1508 Locust Street, was constructed in 1851. The house is three bays wide, three stories tall, and two rooms deep. The main block of the house appears to be a Federal town house, and the windows have rectangular stone lintels, a Federal attribute; but the tall, narrow proportions of the windows and the bracketed cornice show Italianate influence. The wood surround of the main entry, conversely, is taken directly from the Greek Revival. The house is now a museum; a modern addition for offices has been constructed at the rear. (St. Louis, 1995)
