West Brentmoor Park

West Brentmoor Park is a neighborhood located in Clayton, Missouri.  It borders Wydown Boulevard, named one of the "Top 10 Great Streets for 2010" by the American Planning Association.

 

It was one of 3 subdivisions (West Brentmoor Park, East Brentmoor Park, Forest Ridge*) designed by Henry Wright from 1910-1913.  He was already a famous designer at this point, having helped architect George Kessler design the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis when he was only 23 years old.

 

Wright designed all three of his projects to face inward toward their common grounds and away from the noise and congestion of Wydown Boulevard and the trolley line which ran along it (now gone). The subdivisions share common characteristics such as limited access from surrounding thoroughfares, curving interior drives, one to almost 3-acre lot sizes, and large traditionally designed houses.

 

West Brentmoor Park has a simple oval plan due to the evenness of its 49.8 acres (202,000 m2). The three subdivisions in this district contain forty-seven houses, twenty-one of which were built in the first decade after the sites were opened, with an additional sixteen built before 1930. The best local architects as well as some out-of-town ones, the most notable being Howard Doren Shaw of Chicago and Raymond Maritz, designed the fashionable period-style houses, which fill all three subdivisions,. The large, carefully designed houses are about evenly divided between medieval and Georgian styles.
