The single family home at 3132 Cherokee Street is being rehabbed at a cost of $30,000. According to the building permit application, the structure will house two units upon completion.

Per that blog post, the building has been extensively worked on for several years. Below is a Geo St. Louis shot of the building under construction in March 2009:

The single family building at 3132 Cherokee Street in the Gravois Park neighborhood has been issued a $30,000 building permit to rehab the structure into a two-family.
Below is a Google Streetview capture from July 2011 that shows the building more or less in its current state:
As you can see, something is missing from the building.
Geo St. Louis contains an older photograph that shows what the building’s entry once looked like:
It is unclear whether this entryway will be restored.
