In this latest episode of House of Lou, host Veronica Theodoro interviews content creator Jay David and real estate agent Dawn Griffin, the husband-and-wife team behind Instagram’s popular @housesinstl account. Part visual record, part history lesson, @housesinstl digs into St. Louis house, neighborhood, and city history, unearthing sometimes unknown yet always fascinating stories about our community. Griffin and David discuss the early months working on the account, how they source their intel, and their collaboration, including brainstorming sessions on the fly and via a two-person Slack channel. We hear about the origins of the Village of Huntleigh, the Glendale house once belonging to Gerty Cori, the winner of the Noble Prize in Medicine, and so much more. If you love houses and their history, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss it. Watch the episode on YouTube and listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
