Old North Restoration Group Launches “Brickstarter” Crowdfunding Campaign for 1316 North Market

We’re working to save this great beauty owned by Old North Saint Louis Restoration Group from the never relenting effects of gravity, but we need your help! Vacant since 1990, this building is already a survivor. Formerly owned by the City of St. Louis Land Reutilization Authority, ONSLRG bought this building along with eight other vacant and deteriorated buildings in 2009. Three of these properties have been sold and have been, or are in the process of being renovated, and five have been stabilized and secured by ONSLRG for future rehab. For more information on properties owned by ONSLRG, please contact us at info@onsl.org or 314-241-5031.

When acquired from LRA, this building was reserved for redevelopment and did not see immediate stabilization work, although it was secured properly and the grass and weeds are cut. Unfortunately, financing did not work out due to the tightening of financial markets during the “Great Recession.” The “Macho Action Group” of Old North St. Louis Restoration Group has done some work on the building, but much more work is needed.
