Stork Inn

Constructed in 1910, the Stork Inn at 4527 Virginia Avenue was the first of three delightfully picturesque establishments (the other two being The Feasting Fox and Bevo Mill) designed by Klipstein & Rathmann for August Busch who hoped to counter the growing prohibition movement by creating wholesome images of Old World charm on sites with maximum visibility. The Stork Inn occupies a wedge formed by Taft, Idaho and Virginia. Posted by Tom at November 29, 2006 07:57 PM
