St. Louis Stars Park, 1932

Here’s another find by Kevin Johnson: the location of Stars Park in St. Louis, from a 1932 Sanborn map. The baseball park is not actually marked here, so as Kevin notes it’s possible that the location had already been turned into a city park by the time the map was made.  Nevertheless the ballpark’s lopsided shape is quite apparent, with the famous trolley car barn cutting off left field.

    That location is the Harris Stowe University baseball/softball complex.
