Description

Smith, Presiding Judge Appellant appeals from the denial by the trial court of a writ of certiorari to review the decision
of the Board of Adjustment of the City of St. Louis denying appellant a permit to demolish a building located on appellant's
real property. The property is located within the boundaries of the Lafayette Square Historic District created by a city ordinance. The appellant is a church. In September 1973, it acquired the property in question at a foreclosure sale at which it was
the only bidder. The subject property adjoins the church property and was acquired for conversion into a parking lot for use
by church members attending services and meetings. The real estate contains a 2-1/2 story building, denominated a "double
entry town house." The structure contains six apartments, all vacant for some period of time before the church purchased
the property. It is in a serious state of disrepair, which will be discussed more fully later.
