Cast Iron Valentine

I quickly pinned down the Clemens House in my GPS as just a neat old house to see while in St. Louis; little did I know of its strange past! The condition of the old mansion was pretty terrible; it looked like some kind of restoration work was half-assed around the residence, which was fairly gutted of the ornate details it once had. The chapel building was jaw-droppingly beautiful, but in even worse shape, with a mostly-collapsing roof and no restoration efforts visible. Hopefully there are still some salvageable pieces left to save these days...
