Wells Goodfellow

Wells Goodfellow preserves a distinctive era of St. Louis's urban growth, where early 20th-century institutional architecture anchors a residential landscape of solid brick homes and tree-lined streets. The neighborhood's character centers on its remarkable collection of schools—including the stately Gardenville, Arlington, and Ashland schools—which stand as testaments to the community's commitment to public education and showcase the craftsmanship of their era through their dignified brick facades and purposeful design. Walking these blocks offers visitors an intimate portrait of working-class St. Louis, where the bones of a thriving neighborhood remain visible despite the changes of decades.
