Living in a Charles E. King Home
In this episode of House of Lou, host Veronica Theodoro talks with two Belleville-area homeowners about the joys of living in a midcentury modern house designed by architect Charles E. King. Who was King, and why do his houses inspire such passion that buyers fight over them when they hit the market? Margaret Meyer has lived in her King house for 52 years. Elijah Church moved from St. Louis to Belleville’s Signal Hill neighborhood two years ago, after a 29-month search for the right house. Floor-to-ceiling windows, treetop views and soaring ceilings are just part of the reason people love King’s work. Margaret and Elijah share what it’s like to live in a King house, from what’s changed over the years in the house to watching the four seasons change from their living rooms.

St. Louis Photographer Heidi Drexler Stehr's New Book
In 1980, 8-year-old Heidi Drexler Stehr began spending her summer vacations on Cape Cod—igniting a love for the New England coast that has followed her ever since. A traditional Cape Cod shingled home, built by her maternal grandparents, is the nucleus of her memories. And that house, as well as the life Heidi and her family experienced there, is the beating heart of a newly published, nearly 300-page coffee table book photographed by Heidi over the course of a year. Coastal Granddaughter tells the story of Cape Cod through the eyes of a Midwesterner in vivid, engaging images that take readers to the beach, to the fish stand, and to the middle of town. Veronica sits down with Heidi to talk about the making of Coastal Granddaughter—the Cape, the memories, and the eight-year-old girl who started it all.
