Lafayette Square Park
Lafayette Park is the last remnant of the original St. Louis Commons, the only piece that has never been separated from the City. It was designated as a public park in 1836. The park's current appearance has evolved slowly over the years, beginning as a formal, symmetrical plan park with four walks radiating outward from a small central pool. Today's Lafayette Park is a product of the second period, and reflects the Victorian's taste for picturesque vignettes.
