Though few people in contemporary St. Louis know his name, builder A. A. Fischer left an indelible mark on the city’s residential architecture. Between 1894 and 1929, Fischer was responsible for constructing more than 300 houses and apartment buildings. His trademark was the broken frieze, wreaths and swags that descend into the spaces between upper-story windows. This book features more than 500 images and a full-color foldout map showing all of Fischer’s homes.
