ABOUT THE SOULARD RESTORATION GROUP

The Soulard Restoration Group Plaque

The Soulard Restoration Group (SRG) was formed in 1972 when a group of community -minded individuals began their effort to have Soulard declared a National Historic District. This designation allows for the preservation, protection, and enhancement of the many historical and architecturally significant buildings within the neighborhood. Over the years the role of the Soulard Restoration Group has expanded beyond just maintaining historic standards to focus on resident safety, beautification, fundraising, and events that bring our community together.
