Shaw SWG TGS Directory 2024-25

26 SHAW, SOUTHWEST GARDEN, & TOWER GROVE SOUTH Remington, was a painter and sculptor and left a wonderful artistic record of the old West. His sculptures and paintings are now part of the American heritage, held in the collections of many museums, including the St. Louis Art Museum and the Smithsonian Institution. In 1850, the neighborhood welcomed a significant influx of Germans, who were quickly employed as truck drivers and merchants. Churches, schools and other structures were built, turning the once-agricultural area into a healthy small suburb of the city. In 1876, the city limits of St. Louis were expanded to include Tower Grove South. The electric trolley line was extended westward so residents could travel down Arsenal to Kingshighway. When this trolley began running, the track was nestled in between farmland. As time passed, one- and two-bedroom brick homes were built. Tower Grove South gradually changed from an agricultural area to a more residential area. As the homes were built, the area also was attracting businesses. In the 1920s, South Grand began to have banks, bakeries, drug stores, movie theaters and other businesses. After a serious slump in the 1970s, the South Grand Business District became a destination for new Vietnamese immigrants who moved in and opened new restaurants and shops. The past two decades have seen the addition of coffee houses, specialty shops, boutiques and antique stores to this unique mix. Today, Tower Grove South Neighborhood and its business districts along South Grand and Morgan Ford are diverse, evolving and thriving.
