The Charles Stockstrom House is a single dwelling at 3400 Russell Blvd. in St. Louis, built from 1907 to 1909 for industrialist Charles Stockstrom and his wife Hedwig. Thomas Walsh designed the house in the Jugendstil style, with Albert Haesler as builder.
Why it's listed
It was listed in the National Register in 2018 under Criterion C, with local-level significance in architecture, its period of significance running from 1907 to 1909, the years the house was built.
Physical character
The exterior combines red granite and salmon-colored terra cotta walls with a red slate roof and copper finials, set on an ashlar limestone foundation. An engaged round tower capped with a candle-snuffer roof and a porte cochere stand out among steeply pedimented dormers and a square cupola with louvered vents. Inside, quarter sawn oak paneling and a stained glass window bearing the family coat of arms accompany an original basement bowling alley.
Historical context
Charles and Hedwig bought the property from Henry Haarstick in 1907 and moved into their new house in 1909. Hedwig died in 1923, Charles remained there until his death in 1935, and Ada Stockstrom then held the house from 1935 to 1990, when she sold it to the current owner.
