Walter Knoll Florist moved from the Chippewa location in January of 2008 to their newest location just 4 blocks away at 4620 Hampton Ave in the Saint Louis Hills neighborhood. The sign was put up in the early 60s and features a multi colored art deco logo. In the 90s the sign was updated with a new roof and new lighting.
