The Marine Villa Neighborhood Historic District is a residential historic district in the Marine Villa neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The district encompasses ten blocks and includes 356 buildings and sites, 187 of which are considered contributing resources to the district's historic character. Construction in the area began in 1870, but poor infrastructure and street access limited settlement. A streetcar line opened on South Broadway in 1890, leading the district to develop into one of St. Louis' many streetcar suburbs of the era. Most of the neighborhood's early residents were working-class and middle-class German immigrants and their families. The district's buildings are mainly one- and two-story brick buildings, and as the majority were built by individual property owners, they feature a wide variety of styles and shapes; the architectural styles used in the district include Spanish Colonial Revival, Romanesque Revival, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire.The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 2009.

Marine Villa is a neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. The neighborhood is located just south of the large and historic Anheuser-Busch Brewery complex along the bluffs of the Mississippi River. It is further defined by Cherokee Street's Antique Row on the north, Gasconade Street on the south, South Broadway and Jefferson Avenue on the west, and the Mississippi River on the east. The Marine Villa neighborhood lies along the Mississippi River, just a few miles south of downtown St. Louis. Originally part of the St. Louis Commons, this area was subdivided and gridded in 1855, with many of the early developments in the neighborhood being small farms and brickyards. Some of the oldest buildings in the neighborhood are small frame and brick farmhouses built in the 1860s, many in the form of a flounder house, a simple but unique vernacular home, often of one-and-a-half stories with a shed roof. With the construction of a north/south roadway called Carondelet Avenue, Marine Villa was able to continue developing as the city's population grew and expanded from the downtown core. The Lemp Brewery relocated from downtown to the northern edge of the Marine Villa neighborhood in the 1860s, and the neighborhood saw an influx of German immigrants who came to the neighborhood to work at several of the nearby breweries, including Lemp, Anheuser-Busch, and the Cherokee Brewery. In 1890 the streetcar came through the neighborhood, creating an explosion in population and construction. Most of those buildings are still standing, and give the neighborhood its dense, diverse and historic architectural character. Along with the streetcar route, bustling commercial districts developed along Cherokee Street, South Broadway and Jefferson Avenue. Constructed entirely of brick, most of these commercial buildings are of two or three story construction, with first floor storefronts and residences above. Many are used today as they were originally intended, with small businesses occupying the first floor. These commercial districts are now home to the Chippewa-Broadway Business Association and the Cherokee Antique Row District. Surrounding the shopping districts the neighborhood is characterized by single and multi-family historic brick homes, built primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These homes exhibit a range of architectural styles, including Second Empire, Queen Anne, Italianate, Craftsman, and many localized and vernacular interpretations of the more recognized styles.

Gravois Park is a historic neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. Roughly bounded by Jefferson Avenue, Chippewa Street, Grand Boulevard, and Cherokee Street, the Gravois Park neighborhood is a diverse mix of homeowners, renters, and businesses. The area's architecture reflects its settlement at the turn of the 20th century. The namesake park dates from 1812 (a grant made by the US government), and was praised for its beauty in the nineteenth century already, and in 1914 was part of a walking tour of the city meant to show off the City Plan Commission's "idealized view of the shape of the city."

Dutchtown is a neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. It is called "Dutch" from Deutsch, i.e., "German", as it was the southern center of German-American settlement in St. Louis in the early 19th century. It was the original site of Concordia Seminary (before it relocated to Clayton, Missouri), Concordia Publishing House, Lutheran Hospital, and other German community organizations. The German Cultural Society still has its headquarters there. St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church towers over the neighborhood and is a symbol of the neighborhood. While the influence of the German settlers remains, Dutchtown rapidly began to diversify in the 1990s. The majority of Dutchtown residents today are Black, and significant numbers of Latinos, Asians, and other immigrants call the neighborhood home as well. Dutchtown is home to long-standing, locally famous purveyors of sweets: the South Grand location of locally famous chain Ted Drewes frozen custard stand, as well as Merb's Candies and Dad's Cookies. More recently, a number of resale shops and boutiques have clustered in the Downtown Dutchtown area along Meramec Street between South Grand Boulevard and Compton Avenue. The 17-acre Marquette Park sits in the center of the neighborhood and features a free public swimming pool, recreation center, playground, tennis courts, a renovated field house, and plenty of green space.
