Kirkwood is one of St. Louis County's oldest suburbs, grown up around the railroad depot, so its established neighborhoods carry a large stock of early-1900s frame and brick homes near downtown and Kirkwood Park. Those foundations sit on loess over glacial till and have moved with the seasons for a century. Like other older inner suburbs, Kirkwood has a heavy tree canopy that draws moisture from the clay in summer and drives differential settlement. Deep basements are standard. The problems seen most are bowing basement walls, settlement near mature trees, and long-standing cracks that widen seasonally. Kirkwood's identity as a railroad suburb, one of the oldest planned communities west of the Mississippi, gave it an early and unusually dense stock of substantial early-1900s homes clustered near the depot and Kirkwood Park — a concentration of century-old foundations that's put this specific part of St. Louis County through more full seasonal cycles of clay movement than almost any comparably sized suburb. The same mature tree canopy that gives Kirkwood's older streets their character creates the moisture-competition settlement pattern seen in Clayton, and long-time residents here are often the first to notice a crack that's simply been slowly widening for years rather than appearing suddenly.
