Absolutely gorgeous. This is a perfect example of an extremely well built building. I hate to sound old but you definitely do not see this quality today. You know the quality that is meant to last and not break in two years. Everything now appears to have a short expiration date.

Always amazed at how in the 60s during the whole "urban renewal"movement in major cities, officials would desperately try to find solid reasons why pre-1900 structures weren't worth saving. Cleveland Ohio was a prime example, so many were lost to the wrecking ball to make room for "modern" structures that didn't even last to the year 2000...Glad to see St. Louis officials realized it's worth!

Hey as someone from Cleveland, you’re spot on. It was seen as a legitimate way of dealing with poverty, economic development, and blight all in one. Not to mention the thousands of beautiful and functional streets/buildings carved out for highways and parking lots. And I wouldn’t say we’ve exactly learned from our past. Opportunity Corridor is just the newest form of urban renewal.

Sounds to me like someone in the 60s had a brother in construction who wanted some government $ to "fix" something that was built right the first time. Democracies are like that if you don't pay attention the wrong people get into office and change things to line their own pockets instead of bettering the country for all of the people living with in it.

At the time I thought it was the neatest old building I had ever seen. I still think it's great. Thank you for bringing back some fond memories.

I'm glad it was saved. I remember the controversy, with architecture students complaining about the Tootsie Roll columns, while they aspired to glass boxes. That is the way a courtroom is supposed to look, as Detoqueville said, "in America the Law is the King." People behaved themselves better when they were in the presence of the Law.

When I was little, we lived in an old Victorian farmhouse, we had a tiled entry similar to that one, my mom would paste wax it, then turn an old wool rug upside down, set my little brother on it and make it a game of me dragging him around, little did I know I was actually polishing the floor. lol .. The man who wanted to tear it down, in my guess, a developer, that's what they do.. Should have taken him outside of town and tarred and feathered him.. lol

The inner atrium was converted into a plush resturant and the upper floors were a hotel. Also worked at the Suffolk County CH in 2002 during restoration and renamed John Adams CH which houses the MA Supreme C and MA appeals C. The atrium cieling was lovingly restored by volounteers from Suffolk University College of Art who spent many weeks laying on their backs restoring the gold leaf and cleaning off decades of grime.

Beautiful building! I love old houses and buildings. They have a soul. When I think of the tools they were limited to compared to today, I'm always amazed! That tile flooring is amazing! I assume they had to cut each color separately. That is mind blowing. I don't care if a house or building combines architectural styles! It looks absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.

@Bobrogers99 2 жыл бұрын

The man who complained that the building doesn't exemplify any one style apparently hasn't looked at many new buildings that have no style at all. Many are bland, utilitarian structures that could have been copied from Soviet Russia. Other new buildings border on the bizarre, and their novelty will wear thin over time. The Post Office is a place of beauty, and the fact that its beauty remains speaks to the quality of its materials and workmanship. It's a piece of history that St. Louis should embrace proudly.

In 1968 in my hometown, Des Moines, Iowa, the 1868 Second Empire style post office/Federal courthouse was deemed undesirable by the city fathers and razed before residents could put up a fight to save it. They wanted a parking structure on the site in order to keep the JC Penney store downtown. Penney's left anyway a couple decades later and now the parking structure has been razed as well. The building would have served as a complement to the 1906 Beaux-Arts style county courthouse across the street which is still standing and recently went through an interior restoration. It was such a shame to have lost such a beautiful century-old building and residents complain about the loss to this day. St. Louis is lucky to still have theirs.

Even the ones collapsing in farm fields. Instead of pushing old homes into a pile and burning them someone could come in and salvage everything good. We will never have old growth lumber again or all the beautiful detail work that was so beautifully crafted on the outside and inside of these old structures whether they are buildings or homes. An old plank wood floor from a farmhouse has more stability and charm than anything you could buy brand new thats made from low grade wood. Yea!!!!! for those who rallied to keep that beautiful building! God bless and Merry Christmas

To me what was incredible is that when them seceded to "modernize" the City Hall the contractor, unlike almost any other project undertaken at that period, opted to encase all of the old Victorian details rather that the usual chop it out. When they started restoration they found almost all of the original plaster work, paintings, even light fixtures, still there.
