Lafayette Square is a neighborhood in Saint Louis that surrounds Lafayette Park, the oldest park in the city. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in St. Louis, and was very fashionable when it was constructed. It saw a time of decline following a tornado in 1896 and further decline due to industrial encroachment and highway construction. Since the 1970's have been buying and renovating the homes and as of 2006 has been mainly restored and is home to many small restaurants and shops.
