This is a recent off-shoot of the <a href="http://www.lucasevents.com">Lucas School House</a> concert venue and banquet hall across the street at 1220 Allen Avenue in Soulard.<br /><br /><LI>1301 Gravois: <a href="http://www.suttonwoodinteriorsandantiques.com/">SuttonWood Antiques</a>. Located in a former Pentecostal church. This is the only remaining building on the north side of the 1300 block, in a wedge between Gravois and the I-55/I-44 ramp complex.</LI><br /><br /><LI>1314 Gravois: <a href="http://www.midwestpetro.com/">Midwest Petroleum</a>. This gas station, strategically located at the I-55 off-ramp for Gravois / Russell Boulevard, was formerly branded as a <a href="http://www.citgo.com">Citgo</a>, but has for the past few years just been labeled as Midwest Petroleum.</LI><br /><br />This little stretch of Gravois in the Soulard neighborhood is not always recognized as part of Gravois, since it seems more like just an ramp into downtown from I-55 connecting directly to South Tucker Boulevard. But these few businesses, plus a few vacant buildings and backyard buildings, do have Gravois addresses.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14185823164539776639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118839981570064665.post-55030563214257342002009-04-29T15:20:00.000-05:002009-04-29T15:21:52.119-05:00Gravois HighlightsSome of my favorite buildings along Gravois Avenue include:<br /><br /><LI>St. Michael The Archangel Orthodox Church, 1901 Ann Avenue at Gravois in McKinley Heights. <a href="http://www.stmichaelstlouis.org/">http://www.stmichaelstlouis.org/</a></LI><br /><br /><LI>St. Francis de Sales Oratory (Roman Catholic), 2653 Ohio Avenue at Gravois in Fox Park. <a href="http://www.institute-christ-king.org/stlouis/">http://www.institute-christ-king.org/stlouis/</a></LI><br /><br /><LI>Kutis Funeral Home, 2906 Gravois at Nebraska in Benton Park West. <a href="http://www.kutisfuneralhomes.com/locations11.html">http://www.kutisfuneralhomes.com/locations11.html</a></LI><br /><br /><LI>South Side Tower, 3606 Gravois at South Grand in Tower Grove South. <a href="http://www.southsidetower.net/">http://www.southsidetower.net/</a></LI><br /><br /><LI>Bevo Mill, 4749 Gravois at Morganford/Delor in Bevo Mill. <a href="http://stlouis.missouri.org/bevomill/bevomill.html">http://stlouis.missouri.org/bevomill/bevomill.html</a></LI><br /><br /><LI>John L.
