Former home of the Hadley Dean Glass Co.
A building whose powerful structure had to carry hundreds of tons of stored
glass.
The 1930 foyer decoration has Egyptian motifs etched in Vitrolite, a colored
reflective glass. The building´s best features are its brick cornice and its
overall restrain. There do not appear to be any outside modifications.
Inside, the lobby has been modified and remains the most important feature of
the building. The lobby is done in Egyptian style with glazed vitrious tile.
An Egyptian chandelier by Tiffany is also in the lobby. The lobby was an
addition about 1928.

the Bee Hat wholesaling and distributing company in 1926 and their business
remained on Washington Avenue from October 1944 until the beginning of 2000.
- There are plans to redevelop the building into 36 one-bedroom and
two-bedroom apartments from the second through seventh floors. A restaurant
and a boutique retail store will be located on the first floor.
- Eleven terra cotta lion heads, which were attached to the buildings gutters
to drain water to the street, will be connected to the building's steam lines
and each lion will roar every half-hour or so.

7 floors One of the first St. Louis
buildings to have its front facade entirely clad in terra cotta.
"The building is of the modern, slow burning construction. It rises to a
height of seven stories and is divided into two stores by a 40-foot court in
the center, which is reached by a drive from Lucas Avenue. The seven-story
mercantile building at 1015 Washington Avenue is significant not only as a
fine example of turn of the century commercial architecture but also as an
exemplar of the local crafts and trades which helped propel St. Louis´ late
nineteenth century growth into a major metropolis."

The Statler chain had been gone for ten years in 1966, when the building was
renamed the Gateway Hotel. It limped along for two decades, closed for
renovations in 1987, and never reopened. With the opening of the Convention
Center right across the street, and developers clambering for more hotel room
space, the Gateway seemed a blatantly obvious choice for renovation. Yet it
sat vacant for years, subject to decay and several fires... until now. This
was the first air-conditioned hotel in the United States.
- The Renaissance Grand Hotel consists of the original Statler Hotel tower and
a 23-floor addition, which was constructed in 2001-2002. The HRI Group
developed the property, which opened in February 2003.
- The new tower addition stands on the site formerly occupied by the Lindell
Building.
- It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

The Old May Company Department Store is actually a complex of several
structures, beginning with the Bradford-Martin Building.
The complex of buildings on Washington and Lucas Avenues now commonly known
as "The Dollar Store" was built in stages between circa 1875 and
1905. In spite of years of neglect, the complex--first joined under one roof
by the May Company in 1905--is of preeminent architectural significance as
the only remaining Commercial Palace from the years of St. Louis´ most
dramatic growth. Although the basic building material in the complex is
brick, the elevations on Washington Avenue are Bedford stone (painted) and
cast iron. Stories range from five to seven but the overall height of the
complex is approximately 80 feet throughout. The monumental entrance bay from
1898 enhanced the Washington Avenue façade; the first story store-front
modifications are non-contributing.
It was built in 1875 by Francis D. Lee and Thomas B. Annan for Bradford Bros.
and Lindsley & Orr, and was occupied by D. Crawford & Co. from around
1897 to 1903, when Crawford was bought out by the May Company.
On its east side stood the 1876 Finney Building . In 1898, they were combined
into a new mercantile "palace" by St. Louis architects Weber and
Groves who also added the monumental glass-domed entrance.
David May of the May Company, owner of the largest retail company in the
U.S., purchased the building in 1904 and enlarged it by incorporating the
Meyer-Bannerman building (1888) behind it and adding an addition. After the
May Company moved to the Railway Exchange building in 1913, the building was
subdivided

A model of cleanliness and progressive functional design boasting indoor

kind in the world, proved to be a commercial blunder.
A portion of the market was converted to a bus terminal in the 1930's. In
1990, a 2 story addition was added for a Drury Inn.
The bus terminal portion was demolished when the TWA Dome was built for the
Rams next door.

The Old Post Office
Built: 1873-1884
Architect: Alfred B. Mullet
The Old Post Office is among the City´s and the nation´s architectural
masterpieces. It and Mullett´s Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C.
are probably the best examples of the Second Empire building style ever
constructed in the United States.
In the years following the Civil War, the federal government´s headquarters
building in St. Louis was the Old Custom House at Third and Olive Streets. It
had become inadequate for its many uses. Erection of a larger replacement was
authorized by Congress in 1869 and plans were prepared by government
architect Alfred B. Mullett. The proposed location was criticized as being
too far west from the business district of that time.
Excavation began in 1873 but a number of construction problems were
encountered, including quick sand. Actual construction, therefore, did not
begin until 1873. A prime reason for the site selection was its situation
along the tunnel from Eads Bridge to the Union Depot. Access to the tunnel
from the post office for direct dispatch of mail did not prove feasible
because of seepage of smoke from the trains into the building, and the entry
portal had to be sealed.
Construction proceeded slowly because of the great care required to make the
structure completely fireproof and secure. It was built like a fortress with
a 28-foot deep moat around the building and sliding iron shutters on its
windows. These precautions were taken because of the presence of a
subtreasury branch and as a guard against possible mob violence, a reminder
from the recent Civil War.
No expense was spared on either the ornamental exterior or lavish interior of
the great structure, which was finally completed in 1884 after 10 years of
construction. Its cost of nearly $6 million made it the City´s most expensive
building for some years to come.
In later years, various federal functions were relocated elsewhere, beginning
with removal of the main post office to 18th and Clark in 1912. Two years
later, the Weather Bureau vacated its roost in the cupola atop the Mansard
dome for a perch on the roof of the Railway Exchange Building. Most of the
federal courts and offices remained in the Old Post Office until 1935, when
the new government building at 12th and Market was occupied.
The old structure has been vacant since 1975, when a postal branch was
relocated across the street. For many years the old building was the object
of much speculation regarding its fate, after a government announcement of
possible demolition in 1964. This brought a concerted effort by
preservationists to save it, with various proposals for its reuse. Its
condition led to the passage of a bill by Congress authorizing private use of
unused federal buildings.

further west was constructed in the 1910s. The Board of Education departed
for financial reasons, citing the cost of installing modern elevators (the
current ones still require an operator!) and central air conditioning --
after having the windows and portions of the facade cleaned and painted only
three months earlier.
The building went up for sale around 2000. After a few vacant years, it is
currently (early 2005) being renovated as condominiums.

building in 2002.

Henry Singleton, 1839-1845
Robert S. Mitchell, 1852-1862
William Rumbold, 1860-1864
Status: Restored and in use as a National Park Service museum
Henry Singleton´s design for the courthouse was approved in July, 1839. The
rotunda and west wing were opened in 1845. Between 1851 and 1862, the
remaining wings and the dome were completed. The building is in the plan of a
Greek cross. The rotunda has four circular galleries and is topped by a cast
iron dome of Renaissance form. William Rumbold designed the dome, which
predates the U.S. Capitol dome by two years. There is debate as to whether or
not the construction of the Capitol dome was inspired by the St. Louis dome.
Besides his work on the dome, Rumbold altered the double spiraled staircase
and replaced the four large stone pillars which supported the balcony with
the present iron columns. The murals in the dome were done by Karl Wimar in
1862, and by E. Hore Miragoli. Those by Wimar are: Laclede selecting the site
for St. Louis; DeSoto Discovering the Mississippi River; the British-Indian
Attack on St. Louis, 1780; and Cochetopa Pass, Rocky Mountains. The latter
two murals were retouched in the early twentieth century. The courthouse
functioned as such from 1845 to 1930. Various cases and debates occurred
within its walls. It was the site of the famous Dred Scott case which ran
from 1847 to 1857. Senator Thomas Hart Benton spoke there in 1849 at the
Railway Convention, promoting the Transcontinental Railway. Ulysses Grant
freed his one slave there. And during the 1870´s, it was the seat of the
movement attempting to move the nation´s capital to St. Louis.

Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France (Old Cathedral)
Built: 1831 Architect: Joseph C. Laveille & George Morton
Renovated: 1963 Murphy & Mackey
The oldest cathedral west of the Mississippi.
This is the forth church on this site and one of the few buildings to survive
the great fire of 1848. At the time
of the founding of St. Louis by Pierre Laclede in 1764, the present site of
the Old Cathedral was dedicated for church purposes. Originally the site
included the entire block, with a cemetery on its northern half. Three
churches preceded the present structure on the site. Log structures were
completed in 1770 and 1776 and a brick building was constructed in 1819.
In 1812, Father Louis William
DuBourg was appointed bishop of St. Louis. One of his first priorities was
the construction of the town´s first cathedral.
In 1826, DuBourg resigned and was succeeded as bishop by his assistant,
Joseph Rosati. As the brick cathedral had never been fully completed, Bishop
Rosati reached a decision to build a new and larger church. It was completed
in 1834 with ceremonies attended by prelates from throughout the diocese.
The facade and portico of the edifice have inscriptions in Latin, with the
name of God in Hebrew upon its pediment. On the interior were paintings from
France, some of which are still in place today.
A special distinction was granted to the Cathedral in 1841 by Pope Gregory
XVI. This was an indulgence which is only granted elsewhere to pilgrims who
visit the seven basilicas of Rome.
Eventually the need for a much
grander Cathedral became apparent and, in 1914, the title passed to the great
new structure on Lindell Boulevard. At that time, the Old Cathedral became
known officially as the Church of St. Louis of France. The surroundings of
the old church became increasingly dismal until it was in the midst of an
area of decrepit riverfront warehouses. However, the noble old edifice was
returned to a position of physical prominence by the razing of the warehouses
for the new riverfront Jefferson Expansion Memorial. The Old Cathedral was
restored to its original appearance beginning in 1959. In the process, a
forgotten oval window above the altar was uncovered and later incorporated
into the restored original interior design.

- This hotel is an adaptive reuse of the American Zinc Company Building and
the adjoining International Fur Exchange Building.
- This building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in
1998.
- This building was saved by Charles and Shirley Drury who happened to pass
by as the building was undergoing demolition. Demolition was halted when they
made arrangements to purchase all three buildings.
- The early stages of demolition damaged the facade of the Fur Exchange
Building and the Thomas Jefferson Building. Both buildings were repaired and
the Thomas Jefferson Building was given a new brick exterior to help it blend
in with the Fur Exchange Building. International

Cupples Station Building number 73 has many of the features typical of the
Cupples Station complex, although its Richardsonian Romanesque design appears
much more modern. The ground floor features six large arches on both sides
and back of the building. These Romanesque arches are repeated at the top of
the fifth floor, as the second through fifth floors are treated together. A
series of smaller arches again repeat the motif on the sixth floor. There is
also a curved brick cornice line at the roof and on the first floor. Hammermille
