Baden is still considered a county of Saint Louis City. Baden's population was about 400 people. The neighborhood was located on the Kansas City and Northwestern Railroad, popularly known as the "Wabash". In this neighborhood there were 11 stores, three wagon shops, four churches, four schools (one public, two Catholic, and one Lutheran), as well as a post office, known to locals as "the Baden Station".InstitutionsThe Lutheran Altenheim or Nursing Home at 8721 Halls Ferry Road was constructed in 1929, with additions in 1963 and 1972. The home features ramps instead of stairways for the safe and comfortable movement of residents within the fireproof building. (It was sold recently to a non-sectarian nursing home enterprise.) A number of historic churches, most of them originally Germanic background, anchor the Baden neighborhood and still operate. Noteworthy among these are Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church (now called Our Lady of the Holy Cross) and Ebenezer Lutheran Church (Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod), both of which date from the mid-19th Century. The other remaining churches are largely African-American Protestant churches, frequently those buying formerly white churches from the original Baden congregations (e.g., the former St. Stephens Evangelical and Reformed Church). The former largely Irish background, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, was merged into Holy Cross Parish and now meets at the Holy Cross church site. Mount Carmel is now House of Light Church, an African-American Protestant congregation.
