multi-family walk-ups

Walk-up apartment buildings were ubiquitous in St. Louis during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Usually two or three stories in height, a walk-up apartment has a main entry door to a stair hall; individual apartments open off this common hall. The three-family version has a single unit per floor, while in larger buildings, apartments are arranged on either side of a central hallway. Walk-up apartments often feature a balcony or porch for each unit. (St. Louis, 1995)
