Dozenspeed is an independent film maker from St. Louis Missouri, and founding curator for the Dozenspeed Film Foundation, a modest archive of original historical video footage.
This video was funded and produced and is copyright exclusively by the Dozenspeed Film Foundation, unless otherwise specified.
The Dozenspeed Film Foundation is very grateful to artists who allow use of their music in our videos.
I think of myself as a Sentimental Video Artist, something I've never heard of but that I feel best expresses my motivation and purpose behind my video creations. The goal is to contribute to the documentation of history in some small way, while evoking emotion, memories and nostalgia for fellow humans, well enough to make a living.
The videos on this channel are for art and entertainment purposes only, no warranty is either expressed or implied. The choice of an existential tour guide is an important decision and should not be made solely on the basis of videos on this channel.
If you own or can otherwise authorize access to something you think I might like to curate footage of, document or promote, or for sponsorship and donation inquiries you can reach out to me at:

If you have a local business (with a physical location) in the St. Louis region and would like a commercial spot created for this channel at no cost to you for the sake of posterity and whimsy, please contact.
The Dozenspeed Film Foundation is also interested in supporting local musicians willing to allow usage of their work suitable to our content (primarily instrumental) for publicity under license.
Dozenspeed currently isn't on any other platforms, with no other channels. Everything is kept here for simplicity and productivity. (I have an unused Twitter for emergency fail safe purposes only)

Sad looking building. Good job on getting the interesting torn-up parts. Can't believe this is in STL city

One quick google search later, and I'm surprised how close this is to the Fox Theater and St Louis University.

Had to look up "cop shop". Righto!

The fire station on Hampton just south of 44 seems to be in that same style. I wonder if it’s the same architect but escaped closure since it serves a different purpose.

The history seems a bit vague but there seems to have been a group of 6, and maybe more designed by the same guy Osburg. 3 of the six were this color and 3 were a more dark gray and the city sold all of them. One is in Soulard at 12th and Lynch. Can't confirm the one Hampton but quite probably. TYFW 🙂
