Reinforced concrete as a material for residential construction is rare in St. Louis. The structural support of the building may be load-bearing concrete walls, or a skeleton formed from concrete columns and beams; the concrete itself, reinforced with metal rods or grids, is cast in place using wood forms, or precast into the required elements and installed on the site. (St. Louis, 1995)
