About Carondelet
Where to stay in Carondelet
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Carondelet lies at the far southeastern end of St. Louis, so a base here trades downtown convenience for quiet residential blocks. Sugarloaf Mound is one anchor and Quinn Chapel AME Church the other, and the listed houses, the Anton Schmitt House, the Schlichtig House, the Carlin-Rathgeber House, all stand within the same short span of neighbourhood streets.
Quinn Chapel has no hotel near it. Stay here if you want a residential corner of the city rather than the centre of St. Louis.
About Carondelet
What are the main landmarks in Carondelet?
Houses make up most of what Carondelet lists. The Anton Schmitt House, the Schlichtig House, the Jacob Steins House and the Carlin-Rathgeber House stand among them, joined by the Eugene and Mary A. Miltenberger House. Sugarloaf Mound is the exception, a mound rather than a house, and Quinn Chapel AME Church is the one place of worship among them, which leaves Carondelet with a landmark set built from homes rather than civic monuments.
What is the history of Carondelet?
Carondelet dates from 1767. For a short stretch the place governed itself: incorporation as an independent city came in 1851, and that arrangement held until the City of St. Louis annexed it in 1870, folding a separate town into a growing neighbour. Family names still mark the landmark list: the Anton Schmitt House, the Jacob Steins House and the Carlin-Rathgeber House.
Carondelet lost the charter and kept the name.
Where is Carondelet?
