Harris Armstrong is known for some of his modern buildings, like The Ethical Society on Clayton Road in Richmond Heights. Earlier in his career he was more traditional. Here is a charming 1937 Kirkwood home built with remnants of Laclede Landing.....brick, cobblestones,etc.
423 Miriam.....$555,000





I'm wondering if you have any documents or references indicating that this house on Miriam was indeed a Harris Armstrong design.
Based upon the house's design and construction, I can believe that this could be possible. He certainly did other work of a similar character, but I have never seen any physical or documentary evidence to even suggest Armstrong as its designer.
Are you aware of anything beyond hearsay comments from the owners of the house?
