Hibbs Homes has a lot of experience building new homes in neighborhoods where the history of the homes is ingrained in the community's character. We've built new homes in neighborhoods like Dogtown, including Kirkwood and Webster Groves, where our client's new construction home is nestled among century-old homes and historic business districts.

The Dogtown neighborhood is a tight-knit community where being neighborly is the rule. This community is known for brick making and close urban living. Architecturally, homes in Dogtown narrow brick homes with distinctive, large porches. The Schapers incorporated a cozy front porch, a large rear deck, and a rooftop patio in this design to make sure the their home carries on that distinct tradition and style.
