Since all SF Shannon apartments are in the historic core of St. Louis, we occasionally receive the question: “Is it safe?” This question is impossible to answer, because we typically know nothing about the person asking it. Co-owner Rachel lives a few blocks from the Schreiber Suite. She and her her husband raised their daughters in this neighborhood, and have always felt perfectly safe. OTHER THINGS TO NOTE The Schreiber Suite has window-unit air conditioning. We pull the air conditioners out of the windows by the middle of November to clean and store them for the winter. We reinstall the air conditioners in April. If you feel like you need an air conditioner outside of this schedule, please discuss with us. We will do our best to accommodate. In the winter months, heat is controlled by a central boiler that runs steam through the radiators. The boiler is scheduled to run 3 to 6 times a day, depending on the weather forecast. WHY THAT NAME? The apartment is named after Paul Schreiber. He and his wife Evelyn owned the building from 1955 to 1999. Paul was an associate conductor with the St. Louis Symphony and a composer. He loved his apartment building on Shenandoah! He was responsible for the conversion of the 2nd and 3rd floor of the building from a single-family home to three individual apartments. He is also the one responsible for the mid-century touches in this very cool apartment. Guest access The apartment is all yours! The courtyard and interior stairs are shared with other guests.
