Located on the 2200 block of Charless in McKinley Heights.
Sadly, there used to be two side-by-side flounders on this block, a rare housing type found, for the most part, only in St. Louis and a handful of other cities. As you can see, it is characterized by a simple facade and a steep side roof pitch that translates to half of a second story. This is from the McKinley Fox National Register District nomination, circa 1984:

There was another flounder on the 2200 block of Gaine, one block north of the Charless examples. It is now a vacant lot. It is pictured below (again from the McKinley Fox National Register nomination, again Circa 1984):
