Ted Wight's St. Louis Style

Mid-century Light Fixtures....and a few clocks thrown in!

Over the last few weeks I have been through some exciting mid-century St. Louis homes.  Here are just a few images the wonderful light fixtures....and a couple clocks!

(Ralph Fournier designed Ladue home- basement bathroom....love the light fixture which is perfect with the wallpaper!)

 

(Same house- clock in the kitchen.)

 

(Ladue Bernoudy- custom-designed light fixtures.)

 

 

 

(Isadore Shank designed house in Westwood)

 

 

10 Westwood CC Grounds, Isadore Shank

This mid-century gem is now only $595,000.  What a great buy for a Isadore Shank home!  Other houses like this are going in the $1 million dollar range.  It has a intact St. Charles kitchen, original fixtures and a dramatic Living Room....all on over an acre of beauty.  Hurry...this one will not last at this price.

Isadore Shank

The late Isadore Shank's family have put together a website to honor him. http://web.mac.com/firbeams/iWeb/Site/Home.html Below is a pic of one of his houses and the wonderful DeBaulieve Building on Delmar.

Isadore Shank Home

Here is another Isadore Shank home on the market in Frontenac at 10615 Spoede Oaks Lane.  It is listed for $629,000...down from the original asking price of $849,000. This house just takes the right buyer to do some freshening and reinterpretation of the spirit of the design. It is on a very private, one-acre lot.

Isadore Shank- architect

"Isadore Shank (1902-1992) was one of St. Louis' foremost modernist architects. Projects include the 12-story Ambassador Apartments at 5340 Delmar Blvd. (1950); the DeBaliviere Building at Delmar Boulevard and DeBaliviere Avenue (1928); the Teamsters union's recreational complex in Pevely, Mo. (1963); and numerous private residences, including the family's own Ladue home." By Liam Otten
