Were you able to guess the location and year of today’s Flashback Friday photo?

You are looking at a streetcar pointing northbound on Tower Grove Avenue at Magnolia Avenue after just exiting Tower Grove Park sometime between 1901 and 1911.

In the background is the park superintendent’s residence which was built specifically to house the superintendent in 1869.

The elegant villa was the first structure to be built in Tower Grove Park — its bricks were painted white in the Italian style.

Have a great weekend!
