Third Street

English:
La Rue des Granges ("Barn Street" or Third Street), farthest from the river, formed the western boundary of the town. It had many small homes of tradesmen and laborers built along its east side, while the west side had a number of barns. It was the logical place to house livestock and store fodder, since the Common Fields stretched from this point to what is today Lafayette Avenue. Each St. Louis family was granted the right to farm a long strip of narrow land.
French:
La Rue des Granges ("Barn Street" ou Third Street), la plus éloignée du fleuve, constituait la limite ouest de la ville. Elle comprenait de nombreuses petites maisons d'artisans et d'ouvriers construites du côté est de la rue, tandis qu'un certain nombre de granges longeait le côté ouest. C'était l'endroit logique pour abriter le bétail et les réserves de fourrage puisque les Champs Communs s'étendaient à partir de ce point jusqu'à ce qui est aujourd'hui Lafayette Avenue. On accordait à toutes les familles de Saint-Louis le droit de cultiver une étroite parcelle dans ces champs disposés tout en longueur.
