Henry Shaw's Gift to St Louis Landmark of 350 Acre Tower Grove Park
Henry Shaw, prominent St Louis philanthropist, has died. His estate, estimated at 2.5 million dollars, will likely leave large bequests to the city and Episcopal charities. Tower Grove Park and nearby botanical gardens, 350 acres with eight miles of paths, may pass to the state and city respectively. Shaw, who arrived in 1819, built a hardware business, wandered the world, then cultivated plants, creating the park's famed gardens and restoring free access to the public. He was the oldest importer in the Mississippi Valley.
