Bunigloows in Cliifton Heights

[jackie]

I am living in my parents home right now.  The one I live on is on the left side of Knox Court going south.  Does anyone know what year these homes were built?  There are quite a few in the area.  There are some on the same side as Mason School.

Jackie,
If you PM me the address I'll see what I can find out.

Clifton Streets
KNOX AVENUE and COURT (N-S). Honored Samuel Knox, a prominent St. Louis lawyer of the period, when it was opened in the Ritter Place Subdivision of 1887. (Clifton)

Clifton History
The southwestern corner of David W. Graham's Sulphur Spring tract was sold in 1885 to a group headed by a Methodist minister, Rev. Benjamin St. James Fry. They hired Julius Pitzman to survey and lay out Clifton Heights subdivision, with its curving streets and park. To the north of this, Ritter Place was recorded as a subdivision in 1887. It was bounded by Knox, Wilson and Famous Avenues, near the Frisco Railway. To the east of Ritter Place was Thomas Campbell's subdivision, platted in 1889.

I just updated the Clifton Area From The St. Louis, Missouri Directories, 1889-1890 and added Flyer, Knox and Ivanhoe.
Since the whole 1890 Census was destroyed by a fire, I do have the 1900 Census for that area which contains the address, I just haven't had time to upload it.

jackie,
I don't know if I answered your question or not, those houses were built in 1924 and 1925. Seems your block of Knox Ct is in the Highland Park Addition of Clifton and is not yet on this 1903 Map.

History of St. Louis Neighborhoods - Clifton
The earliest subdivision in the vicinity of Arsenal and Watson was Grandview Place in 1912. Several new developments occurred in that area during the 1920's, including Seever's Clifton Addition and Hampton Terrace in 1923, Highland Park in 1924 and the large Arsenal-Watson Park, between Arsenal and Fyler, in 1925. Harry C. Vollmar's subdivision was opened at Sulphur and Elizabeth Avenues in 1925 and Franke Court was developed, off of Smiley Avenue west of Tamm, in 1926. There was not further activity until the large Clifton Hills subdivision, north of Southwest Avenue and west of Tamm, was platted in 1953-55.

In 1903 there was a Blacksmith and Wagon Shop on the corner of Old Manchester Road (Southwest) and Watson. The Missouri Fire Clay Co's Clay Mine was located to the East.
