In 1997 a Second Supplement to the Deed of Restrictions of Westminster Place was proposed. It never received the required number of signatures and thus was never recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds, City of St. Louis:
This Second Supplement to the Deed of Restrictions of Westminster Place ("Second Supplement") is made and entered into as of the ___ day of _______ 1997 by and between those owners of real estate fronting on Westminster Place in City Block 4907B and 5051 B of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, from the west line of Kingshighway Boulevard to the east line of Lake Avenue who have subscribed hereto (the "Owners") and William Chapman, Mary Kay Gabriel, Arthur Littlefield, Lauren Plummer, Debra Shrout, Richard Todd and John Wright, as trustees (the "Trustees").
