Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Many horses and wagons as well as people along the St. Louis Levee where a vast amount of steamboats are docked. One boat is labeled "Amulet" and another is labeled "Dubuque". An American flag is flown on one of the steamboats. Some architecture can be seen to the left, and the Mississippi River is in the background. "St. Louis Levee" is inscribed along the bottom edge of the daguerreotype.
By 1849, 600 steamboats were operating out of St. Louis and along the levee commercial district, over 400 wholesale houses were in operation. During the early part of the 19th century the levee was home to St. Louis’s main commercial enterprises, primarily along First and Levee, between Market and Vine Streets. By the 1840’s the levee ran from Market Street to Washington Avenue, ending in a district known as Battle Row, a tenement district, housing mostly Irish immigrants. Title: St. Louis Levee in 1852. |
