Notable people

Playwright Tennessee Williams grew up in the neighborhood, and the house of the renowned poet T. S. Eliot is located in the Central West End. Beat writer William S. Burroughs's childhood home sits on Pershing Avenue (formerly Berlin Avenue) in the neighborhood. It is often mistaken as the location of Sally Benson's home, 5135 Kensington Avenue, which is the setting of her stories which were adapted into the movie Meet Me in St. Louis. 5135 Kensington Avenue was actually located in the Academy neighborhood just across Delmar Boulevard. It is no longer standing, having been torn down in 1994 after years of neglect. [3]

George Julian Zolnay (Gyula Zsolnay) (July 4, 1863 – May 1, 1949) the Hungarian and American sculptor known as the "Sculptor of the Confederacy" lived in the Central West End in the early 1900s at 4384 Maryland Avenue. [4]
