Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial and Architectural St. Louis: Illustrated In Presenting to the business men and general public of St. Louis and the West our triennial review of what the great city has accomplished since our last compendium of her resources, facilities and achievements, it gives us pleasure to state that no city in the United States, the most progressive country in the world, can compare with St. Louis in her march to greatness as a mercantile and manufacturing center, and in the arts, sciences and general culture of her people. St. Louis every day of her existence proves herself more and more entitled to her proud position as the metropolis of Missouri and of the mighty West. She leads in commerce, manufactures and mechanics. Her people are enterprising, progressive and liberal. As a commercial center, her railroads and rivers give her a natural pre-eminence that the energy, industry and ability of her merchants have utilized to the best advantage. As a manufacturing point, she furnishes the most eligible sites. Abundant water at a nominal cost and inexhaustible supplies of the cheapest fuel in the world. In matters aesthetic her public museums, libraries and the numerous fine collections of paintings and other works of art in the possession of private citizens, attest to the refinement of her people. It shall be our endeavor in the following pages to present a panorama of what St. Louis has done during the past three years, where she stands at present, and her flattering prospects for the future. In doing this, we shall confine ourselves to a plain, unvarnished statement of facts, backed by authentic statistics.

Download or read book American City written by Robert Sharoff and published by Images Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Louis is one of the most architecturally impressive cities in the United States, with a heritage of innovative design stretching back to the early 1800s. This is reflected in the architecture of the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods. More than just about any city in America, St. Louis embraced the imposing forms and lush ornamentation of the Beaux Arts tradition. Indeed, one can make the argument that only Washington, D.C. in the United States has a more impressive collection of classically inspired structures. American City: St. Louis Architecture is the first large-format book on the city's architecture since the 1920s, and includes over 100 new color photographs and text for 50 of the city's most important structures. These range from such 19th Century masterpieces as Louis Sullivan's Wainwright Building, Alfred Mullet's Old Post Office and Theodore Link's Union Station, to Eero Saarinen's Gateway Arch, Tadao Andao's Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts Building and Maya Lin's recently completed Ellen Clark Hope Plaza.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Louis has been a shining beacon on the shores of the Mississippi River for more than 250 years, and many iconic landmarks have come and gone. The city hosted the World's Fair in 1904, with beautiful acres of buildings, gardens and fountains, nearly all of which are lost to time. Famous Busch Stadium now sits on an area that was once a vibrant community for Chinese immigrants. St. Louis Jockey Club was an expansive and popular gathering spot in the late nineteenth century until the state outlawed gambling. The Lion Gas Building was home to a unique mural featuring more than seventy shades of gray in tribute to famed aviator Charles Lindbergh. Author Valerie Battle Kienzle details the fantastic forgotten landmarks of St. Louis.
