Landmarks - Compton Heights 



Stockstrom House
 

Elegant mansions that were home to many of St. Louis’ prominent German-Americans make a visit to this neighborhood a special treat. 

No trip to the Compton Heights area is complete without a leisurely stroll through Tower Grove Park.  Be sure to stop along the way to enjoy the statues dedicated to German literary and historical figures.
