PARKING Parking is free and on-street on the block in front of the Farwig. Please note: The Central West End neighborhood, especially along Euclid street, is home to a number of bars and restaurants. These establishments make our neighborhood great, but can also lead to some challenges. With so many establishments within walking distance, the neighborhood attracts many visitors, especially in the evenings and on weekends. This can make parking tricky. You may need to circle the block a few times, but most of our guests don’t report too much trouble getting a spot. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION You do not need a car while in residence. The Farwig is on McPherson at Euclid, footsteps from fine restaurants and delightful shopping. Walk to three supermarkets (Aldi, Straub's or Whole Foods). The Farwig is within walking distance of Forest Park, home to the St. Louis Zoo, St. Louis Art Museum, Steinberg Rink and other beloved institutions. The World Chess Club is three short blocks from the Farwig. Walk to Washington University Medical Center & Barnes Hospital. One-of-a-kind historic architecture, restaurants, coffee houses and so much more are footsteps away. It is easy to take transit to the world-renowned Gateway Arch, which is five miles east. It is a short walk south on Euclid to Metrolink, the city's regional rail system. From the Central West End Metrolink stop, it is a 20-minute ride to St. Louis Lambert International Airport. IS IT SAFE? 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. The co-owners live within walking distance of each SF Shannon apartment. Rachel, Karen and their spouses have raised their families in their respective neighborhoods, and have always felt perfectly safe. WHY THAT NAME? The Farwig is named after August Farwig, who may be the original owner of the Cambridge, the three-story historic building in which the apartment is located. While we cannot confirm Mr. Farwig owned the building when it was built, city records indicate that he sold it on November 14, 1906. We believe the building was constructed about 1900, in anticipation of the 1904 Worlds Fair being held nearby in Forest Park. Guest access The apartment is all yours! There is a shared laundry room in the upper lobby and shared hallways with other guests and residents. Other things to note The Farwig has central air conditioning. You will control the thermostat. In the winter months, heat is controlled by a central boiler that runs steam through the radiators. The boiler is scheduled to run 1 to 6 times a day, depending on the weather forecast.
