Barnes Hospital, 1940

From a Paul Monroe Co. postcard is this view of Barnes Hospital at Euclid Avenue and (what I presume was) Clayton Road (now Barnes Hospital Plaza). The two buildings on the right remain, but the buildings to the left were demolished for Queeny Tower and the hospital expansions in the 1960s.

For a similar view but with Queeny Tower already in place, click for a photograph.

Masonic Home of Missouri, ca. 1920

From three eBay postcard listings are these images of the Masonic Home located at 5351 Delmar Boulevard. The original purpose of the Masonic Home was to house and assist the wives and children of deceased Master Masons, but later expanded to include assisting the elderly, the infirm, and orphans. The first buildings on the site were constructed in 1889, but these were replaced in 1914 and expanded upon multiple times (the newest structure was built in 1959). Due to budget constraints, however, the Masonic Home of St. Louis was closed in 1989 and all buildings on the site were demolished. The site is now occupied by the Metropolitan St. Louis Psychiatric Center.

St. Louis Insane Asylum, 1878

From A Tour of St. Louis by J.A. Dacus and James Buel (1878). In another fine print, Dacus and Buel show off the St. Louis Insane Asylum, which provides "amply and elegantly for the accomodation and care of this unfortunate class of her population, a large proportion of whom have foisted as a charge upon the resources of the city by dishonorable country officials." The St. Louis Insane Asylum was built in 1869, and it remains in use as a state-run care facility. Built St. Louis has a great series of photographs and more information on the structure [here].

St. Louis Hospital, 1878

From A Tour of St. Louis by J.A. Dacus and James Buel (1878). St. Louis Hospital at Montgomery and Grand Ave., constructed as a replacement for the Catholic hospital at 4th and Spruce. Dacus and Buel describe the hospital as "well-ventilated" and "spacious."
