HISTORY: William Cuba Bungalow
This bungalow
is one of two houses right next door to each other, (the other
is at 2919), that Millennium renovated in 2001. The
original building
permit was issued to John F. Stuckenberg for five houses
to be built at 2915, 2917, 2919, 2921 and 2925 South Compton
at a total cost of $9,000. Anna and John Stuckenberg bought
the five lots in 1908 for $2,500. The homes, all designed
by architect
William
Cuba, were
built
in 1909.
When complete, the houses
sold for $3,200 each. William Cuba regularly invested in St.
Louis real estate in the
early 1900s,
and his name can be found in the paper work on several properties
in the surrounding neighborhoods. The houses he designed were
created primarily
with the
working class St. Louis resident in mind.
This project is funded in part by a grant from
the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Community
Development Agency under the Provisions of Title 1 of the Housing
and Community Development Act 1974 (P.L. 93-838)
