Baden became a part of the City of St. Louis in 1876 by the State legislature. Baden population was made up of 400 people. The neighborhood was located on the Kansas City and Northwestern Railroad. There were eleven stores in the neighborhood, 3 wagon shops, 4 churches, 4 schools, one public, two Catholic, and one Lutheran School.

I love the Old school feel of the area. It's been a long time since i have seen houses near the track. I love the old ads in the area. I'll visit there soon.

My understanding of the 45 degree angle houses was that it gave you two additional views to the outside - the window on the front right side of the houses in the picture here, and also, I assume, a window in the back left of the houses. So you have your usual front and back windows giving you a view, plus these two additional windows (a view other than your neighbor's house, that is). I guess additional privacy is attained as well - instead of looking directly into your neighbors windows (and they into yours) the windows are off-set between the houses because of the angle.

Hey Mark,

I found your blog from Mike Meuth, a fellow parishoner of mine at Our Lady of Providence in Crestwood.

I really like what you are doing. I am in the infancy of doing something similar with my blog, too.

I would love to share ideas sometime.

What an interesting post. Love the railroad track front yard houses and those 45-degree angle houses are just bizarre.
