In a recent conversation, Alderman Irving Clay Jr. (D-26) informed me of considerable development occurring in his ward, adjacent to or very near to Skinker DeBaliviere.
As noted in our previous issue, People’s Health Clinic has moved into its new facility at Delmar and DeBaliviere. Going east on Delmar, we find the Metropolitan St. Louis Psychiatric Center.
The Center held an open house on March 29 and began admitting patients on April 1: The land across the street from the Center has been cleared and the Mills Company is looking for developers of this site. Ald. Clay feels that the Psychiatric Center has drawn greater attention to the area and may be in part responsible for increased housing activity.
For example, the Winston Churchill Apartments are being renovated at a cost of $1.6 million.
On May 19, the Hilton Point Senior Building will be dedicated.
This . building will have 72 units and is located at the intersection of Maple and Belt. Soon ground will be broken for the Horton Place homes, 3 bedroom single family dwellings.
There will be 14 homes at Horton Place.
In addition, Belt and Cabanne is the starting point for Maple Acres.
There will eventually be 113 new single family homes. Eight are substantially completed and 8 are under contract.
This activity will benefit all of us living nearby.
