COOK- If all goes well at a July 8 county permit hearing, the former St. Louis County Public Works garage in Linden Grove will become the eventual home of a new business turning out custom countertops, and a homecoming of sorts for a Cook native son.
Darrel Kaml is a 1985 Cook High School graduate and his father, Frank, still lives in Cook. He also has a couple of brothers who live nearby. And while life long ago led him to California’s Central Valley and a successful business career in the custom tile and construction industry, he’s had an eye on finding his way back to the area for several years. Buying the former county garage building provides an opportunity to take a big step in that direction.

âThereâs so much great street art in the neighborhood, and we wanted to bring that into the house,â says homeowner Niko Rigney. Paintings by local muralist BlackCatTips punctuate the wall, featuring a half-line of Farrow & Ball âRailingsâ to bring down the scale of the large living room. The rug is by Annie Selke, and the designers found the chrome chairs at Decades Antiques and Vintage.
