You're right Woof...
Charles was born here and went to Washington University and had a practice here. I believe there are a couple houses that he designed here, one was pretty traditional and the other that I know of is slightly more modern but nothing like the Case Study houses he did. Interesting story is that he asked the woman whom he built the house for what her favorite sonata was and cast a few bars of it into the brickwork. It's hard to see the house now that all the trees have leafed out.
There was a regional modernist here by the name of Isadore Shank. His son lives in the house his father built for his family and one weekend he took my wife and i on a tour of some of his fathers homes in the area. Before that though he gave us a tour of the Shank family home which had a great collection of modern furniture. He showed us one LCW and remarked that Charles Eames had sat in the chair when he was over at the house for a party once. Pretty cool.

There's this:
if you're into Wright. One of two Wright houses in St. Louis, the other is still lived in by the family that commissioned it, from what I understand.

There is a street...
that parallels the driveway to the Pappas house (a gravel driveway with a gnarled mailbox that you would never suspect has a FLW house at the end of it) that you can then peeeek through the bushes and see the house. SDR is right, it's an interesting home but, yet another more easily seen in the late fall/early winter.
