What it’s like 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. Watch the episode on YouTube and listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
