LaClede Town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LaClede Town was a mixed-income, federally funded housing project in St. Louis, Missouri. Located near Saint Louis University, it opened in 1964 and closed in the late 1980s. Some of the Grand Forest Apartments, a part of LaClede town, still exist as student housing for Saint Louis University.
