Clayton, Missouri, 1948

From atop the Famous-Barr department store in Clayton, Missouri, one could get a pretty good view of, well, the Famous-Barr department store’s parking lot, as we see in these photos we came across on the Vintage St. Louis Photos Facebook page, which indicates that they were taken as part of a 1948 St. Louis-area parking survey. As we see on Google Street View, the parking lot is still there, though Famous-Barr is long gone. What do you see here?
