DescriptionAcquisition of property for what would become Parkview began as early as 1901 by the Parkview Realty and Development Company. Beredith Realty Company was the developer, and the area was often referred to as the Beredith Tract. The Parkview plat was filed in 1905. This photograph was taken looking south toward Washington University about 1906 or 1907. The angle of the photograph is misleading and Parkview actually covers the full width of the photograph. The Kirkwood-Ferguson Streetcar track ran north and south just west of Parkview.
