Where to stay in Peabody–Darst–Webbe
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Tucker Boulevard is the dividing line here. Peabody-Darst-Webbe runs west from that edge across the Near Southside, so most travellers book their rooms over the boulevard in downtown St. Louis and walk back in for the day.
Chouteau Avenue carries the traffic north. Choose the downtown side to have the Gateway Arch and Citygarden on foot, and the blocks toward Dolman Street when a quiet night matters more than a short walk.

About Peabody–Darst–Webbe
What are the main landmarks in Peabody–Darst–Webbe?
The named sights start east of Tucker Boulevard. Peabody-Darst-Webbe is drawn as a quarter of streets rather than monuments, so the Gateway Arch, the National Blues Museum, Citygarden, and the Campbell House Museum all stand over that boundary among the downtown blocks. Churches hold the older record.
St. Francis de Sales Church and St. Mary of Victories Church carry the parish story of the near south side, while the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site keeps the ragtime one for St. Louis.
What is the history of Peabody–Darst–Webbe?
Three names, one St. Louis neighbourhood. The compound title Peabody-Darst-Webbe sits alongside a plainer one, the Near Southside, the name also used for this ground below Chouteau Avenue. Tucker Boulevard and Dolman Street fix the rest.
The fourth side is not a street at all, the I-55/I-44 interchange closes the quarter at its southern end, which is why this edge reads off the highway map rather than off the grid.
Where is Peabody–Darst–Webbe?
The quarter fills the ground between Chouteau Avenue and the I-55/I-44 interchange, with Tucker Boulevard closing it on the east and Dolman Street on the west.
