| Summary: | View of Pruitt-Igoe, abandoned and awaiting demolition. View includes Mid-Town St. Louis and St. Louis University approximately one mile to the west. To the extreme lower left lies the Community Center, and the electrical power sub-station. Lack of maintenance and lack of pedestrian traffic allowed the overgrowth of weeds in the open spaces between the buildings. The Pruitt-Igoe buildings were part of a public housing project, completed in 1956, in St. Louis, Missouri. (September 1975) [Photographer E. A. Tomey. Scan of PHO 54.8.26a] |
