Characteristics
The character of Ellendale has changed. At one time it was an industrial manufacturing center; now it has been converted into commercial and office development. The redevelopment of the former Scullin Steel site into St. Louis Marketplace, a complex of large discount stores and services, is the most notable change.
The Ellendale neighborhood is primarily single family dwellings. Housing size varies from small starter homes to larger dwellings. Structures are primarily of frame construction but brick structures do exist throughout the neighborhood. Approximately two-thirds of the homes in the neighborhood are owner-occupied.
