Gutters in Tower Grove South

Tower Grove South runs from Arsenal to Chippewa, just below Tower Grove Park, with business strips on Grand and Morganford. Most of it grew up along the old streetcar lines, so the blocks are full of solid brick houses set close together.

The houses

Streetcar-era brick: bungalows, two-families and four-families. Roofs are simple compared with the older districts, but side gangways are narrow and many gutters have been patched by several owners over the decades.

The trees

Street trees are big by now, and Tower Grove Park's canopy sits along the north edge. Expect maple seeds in spring and a heavy leaf drop in autumn, which can plug a short run on a small roof quickly.

Ground and water

Lots are small and fairly flat, with concrete gangways that carry water toward basement entries if a downspout ends in the wrong place. Rear yards usually give a better discharge than the side of the house.

Worth checking

  • Check downspouts that empty into a gangway toward a basement door or window well.
  • Look at two-families and four-families closely, since one run often serves a large shared roof.
  • Clear gutters after the spring seed drop, before the wettest months.
  • Trace older pipes at ground level to find out where they actually lead.

Permits

The city's guidance says gutter and downspout replacement usually needs no permit outside a City Historic District. Ask the City of St. Louis Cultural Resources Office, (314) 657-3865 if your block falls inside one.
