Cherokee-Lemp Historic District

Dr. Richard Kring moved his medical office and pharmacy to this building in 1930. While Kring, who had lived and worked for years in the Soulard neighborhood, was the American-born son of German immigrants, many of his neighbors on Cherokee Street in 1930 were foreign-born.

Frank Pietras, a native of Poland who immigrated to the United States in 1912, ran a grocery store across the street in the storefront that stood at 2200 Cherokee Street (demolished). Frank and his wife Elizabeth lived in the apartment above their store. They were paying $72 monthly rent for the first floor commercial space for their second floor home.

Natives of Russia ran a dry goods store in the building that stood at 2216 Cherokee (demolished). Shopkeeper Henry Cohen, who had come to America in 1904, said that his native language before emigrating from Russia was "Hebrew."

This block was also home to natives of Hungary, Switzerland, Germany and Yugoslavia.

Emigrants from Belgium, Croatia, Austria, Bohemia, Lituania, Rumania, Turkey, and Germany lived in other flats, houses and apartments on the other blocks of Cherokee Street's Antique Row in 1930.
