Federal Vernacular Town Houses

Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments

Vernacular town houses displayed the same architectural styles as high style houses of the time, except the use of stylistic detail is muted, and floor plans are altered to accommodate more than one unit in the building. Few Federal vernacular town houses are left. Those that still exist are likely to be found in Old North St. Louis, Soulard and Carondelet neighborhoods. Most were demolished by commercial and industrial expansion in the earlier part of this century. (St. Louis, 1995)
