Rams owner pays $875K in Frontenac

St. Louis Rams chairman and owner Georgia Frontiere bought a five-bedroom, four bath at 10628 Oak Gate Lane in Frontenac for $875,000 from Dr. Osias Almiron and his wife, Leonie, on Jan. 24.

The 3,645 square foot home was built in 1976, and remodeled in 1988.

A St. Louis native and now one of the city's most renowned civic leaders, Ms. Frontiere, 79, has been the chairman and owner of the Rams franchise since 1979, when the team was based in Anaheim, Calif. When she inherited the franchise from her late husband Carroll Rosenbloom, she became the first female majority owner in American professional sports, and her close ties with the St. Louis area eventually reshaped the city's sports landscape.

Ms. Frontiere moved the team to St. Louis in 1995 and created a football boom in the city that resulted in the construction of the publicly-funded $260 million Edward Jones Dome and the Rams' championship in Super Bowl XXXIV.

Ms. Frontiere and Rams Vice Chairman Stan Kroenke created the St. Louis Rams Foundation in 1997. Since then, the Rams and the Rams Foundation have contributed more than $5 million to charities in the St. Louis region

She also serves on a variety of boards, including the United Way of Greater St. Louis, St. Louis' Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club, Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra and Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America.

In 1997, the St. Louis Ambassadors named her "Sportsperson of the Year." In 2001, the American Heart Association named her one of the recipients of "The Missourian Award", an award presented to native sons or daughters of Missouri who have made outstanding contributions in business, civic, and the arts.

Dr. Almiron is a general surgeon at the Almiron Clinic in House Springs.
