about "Mile
House" history in early Wellston
George
Rinkel's Six-Mile House was near Goodfellow and Dr Martin Luther King
Drive and was a very important part of the westward
growth of St. Louis and Wellston. Rinkel's Horse drawn street car brought
people to his beer garden, and to see
property for sale in the area that became
Wellston. Early maps have the area named
Rinkelville.
Loeblein's Seven Mile House was located
at Olive Street Road and Sutter Avenue.
It was a tavern, polling place and voting
location, also a Post Office.
Many of the families in the south part
of Wellston voted here.

Rev. E. F. Hutchinson
property
Note the lots
are only 25 feet wide and 185
feet deep. This is a typical
city sized small business and
home lot. Enough room for shop
or dwelling on the street side,
and at the back an outhouse and
trash bin. No room
for a carriage path or carriage
house. The answer for
some, buy adjacent lots. Most
old Sanborn Fire Maps, show the
25 foot lot with a street
address. Stores on this part of
Easton Avenue sowed the original
lots. The "New" Lindy Hall
at Evergreen and Easton was 3
lots and a partial wide,
described down to the inch.
1878
The
Franklin Avenue street car
was horse drawn at this time.
Col. Rinkles Six Mile house was
about Goodfellow and Easton (St.
Charles Rock Road)
The Narrow Gauge Railroad
(steam engines) on what became
the Hodiamont tracks. The
St. Charles Rock Road Depot at
that time was an uncovered
platform. On this site the
terminal we see today was built
in 1901. |
