Did
you ever
wonder how old is that
building?
Did you ever wonder who the
architect was?
Did you ever wonder what did
this building look like before they added that ugly 50's
façade?
Did you ever wonder where can
I eat downtown?
When I came to Saint Louis 8 years ago from southern California I
started to wonder about these questions and more.
(like where
is everybody after 5 pm?).
During my lunchtime walks through the city I started to find answers to
those questions.
I used books and the web to find a lot of my answers. There are some
really great books
and websites devoted to Saint Louis, but they didn't cover all of the
buildings.
Some sites just spoke of the great old buildings, others covered the
skyscrapers
and smaller buildings but there was not one site that combined it all
(unless I missed it).
So I figured since I had all of this information I would put it out
there for people to use (if there even is anyone?!?).
