Curb Appeal Preservation Near the Botanical Garden
Shaw's proximity to Missouri Botanical Garden makes curb appeal especially important. The neighborhood's mix of Victorian homes and Arts & Crafts bungalows—many built between 1890-1920—showcase the architectural diversity that draws residents to this walkable area.
These homes feature distinctive elements that require specialized repair knowledge: exposed rafter tails, decorative brackets, wide front porches, and original wood windows. Some contractors propose replacement, so ask whether preservation is an option. Where wide craftsman porches sit close to soil contact, ask the contractor about the decay-protection requirements of IRC Section R317 to keep the repair sound long after the historic profile is matched.
