Book signing for "St. Louis Hills: A Walk through History" set for December 7 at Hammond's Books
St. Louis Hills is an exquisite neighborhood. Through the
pages of St. Louis Hills: A Walk through History, NiNi Harris
guides visitors and residents through the over centurylong
evolution of the neighborhood beginning with the
origins of Francis Park—the neighborhood’s emerald-like
centerpiece. Using both photos and story, St. Louis Hills
recalls how developer Cyrus Crane Willmore envisioned
a neighborhood that was anchored by great churches, both
spiritually and visually.
This walk through history pictures the generations of
builders and neighbors in St. Louis Hills: the craftsmen
compelled to build with beauty; the neighborhood boys
who fought World War II; Red Schoendienst, Joe Garagiola,
and Stan Musial who, despite their fame and success as St.
Louis Baseball Cardinals, were down-to-earth neighbors;
and the current generation of parents pushing baby
carriages, power walkers, and people walking their dog
friends around Francis Park.
In St. Louis Hills: A Walk through History, you’ll stroll
back in time to learn more about this neighborhood jewel
tucked in St. Louis city.
