Holy Corners Historic District, Historic district in Central West End, St. Louis, United States.
Holy Corners Historic District is a collection of buildings along North Kingshighway Boulevard in the Central West End neighborhood with structures from different periods of construction. The area spans between Westminster Place and Washington Avenue and includes churches, temples, and public buildings that form the district's character.
The area took shape in the early 1900s as religious institutions built their structures in this region of the city. Official recognition came in 1975 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural and historical importance.
The area gets its name from the concentration of religious buildings and public assembly spaces built in the early 1900s that gathered different faith communities in one place. This gathering of various traditions still marks how people experience and value the district today.
Visitors can walk through the district freely to view the buildings from the outside and explore the different architectural styles. Organized tours led by local preservation groups offer detailed information about the history and features of specific structures if you want more in-depth guidance.
The district brings together four different religious tradition buildings built between 1902 and 1908, showing how different faith communities grew alongside each other. This rare concentration of religious diversity at one intersection is unusual for urban development patterns of that era.
