Great photos SubLunar, thanks for sharing!
Re: RE: Pevely Dairy complex to be demolished
Demolition has begun. Wonder who's going to end up with the Milk bottle medallions? I hope Larry Giles.
Interestingly, someone who was knowledgeable about STL universities and development mentioned that the reason SLU's new building east of grand is set so far from Chouteau is that there was a mine or cave underneath the corner. I may have to look into it. I know there was a quarry west of grand a block north of Chouteau.

*sigh* another place i'll never get to explore.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

Re: Pevely Dairy complex to be demolished
There isn't anything in it to explore. I just drove by it yesterday and didn't see any demolition. Then again, I wasn't looking too closely.
Tear it all down! Fuck.

Re: RE: Pevely Dairy complex to be demolished
No clue. From the looks of it on Google Earth it was a huge building.squeaksman wrote:ohten, where is this quarry at? I did an aerial view but all i saw was the old praxair site. also, what was here????38.621581,-90.244129

Yeah, but it was all empty, right?SubLunar wrote:What do you mean? Pevely was a pretty cool place.crazydrummerdude wrote:There isn't anything in it to explore.
RE: Pevely Dairy complex to be demolished
It was empty, but the building was so weird and massive that it was definitely a cool exploration. You didn't think so?

Re: Pevely Dairy complex to be demolished
I think so, fo sho. I'm just saying there isn't anything in it to explore - that is, it's not a super crazy exploration, it's a historic building that should be preserved, though!
Re: RE: Pevely Dairy complex to be demolished
This calls it the former "Park Avenue Shops". The address matches up; it's now owned by Cardinal Glennon Hospital.squeaksman wrote:ohten, where is this quarry at? I did an aerial view but all i saw was the old praxair site. also, what was here????38.621581,-90.244129

You guys wanna make a human fence and barricade the perimeter? That would be fun!
Re: RE: Pevely Dairy complex to be demolished
The quarry I know about is just north of Gratiot where the railroad and metrolink run today. You can't really see it in the bing birdseye: http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=qf4674 ... orm=LMLTCC
but in the winter there's still a limestone face between the bus parking lot and lower industrial lots.
The facade is the only remainder of the Tiffany streetcar shops. I believe that served all the streetcars running on Grand and many others in south city. The other streetcar shops I know about were at Delmar and DeBalivere and at the current loop lofts building on skinker north of the metrolink.
