OUT + ABOUT

Stone and Steel

Downtown St. Louis offers a trove of significant architecture, from (shown here) the skylinedefining Gateway Arch by Eero Saarinen to the Old Cathedral (1834), both open for tours.

w w w.wheretraveler.c o m

THE BUILDING ART

Nothing is left of the original buildings erected in downtown St. Louis upon its founding in 1764, but an impressive collection of historic and contemporary architecture still exists there nonetheless, much of it preserved from the mid-19th century, when St. Louis was bursting at the seams as the nation’s fourth largest city, often the result of tenacious efforts by preservationists who understand the value of repurposing these historic structures. Our tour through downtown’s architectural highlights features the first skyscraper, a modernist masterpiece, and more than one winner of a national design competition.

OLD COURTHOUSE Originally built in 1839, this Greek Revival building is topped by a cast iron dome (spectacular on the inside) that predates the one on the U.S. Capitol. Slaves were once sold on the Courthouse steps, and the suit that resulted in the Supreme Court’s Dred Scott Decision (which helped foment the Civil War) was initiated here.

The Courthouse is now part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial along with the Gateway Arch, and tickets to the Arch are sold here. Admission to the Old Courthouse is free. Broadway and Chestnut St. Old Post Office

©D. LANCASTER

OLD POST OFFICE This grand Second Empire granite building was built over quicksand in 1873, an engineering challenge that was met with pine log pilings, cotton bales and four feet of concrete, which explains why it has never cracked nor settled.

The sculpture by Daniel Chester French that sits atop the façade is reproduced in the lobby. Inside, among other uses, you’ll find a branch of the St. Louis Public Library. Olive and 8th streets.

CAMPBELL HOUSE Once part of a private street in one of the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods, the three-story mansion was the home of Robert Campbell, who made a fortune in the fur business. Now a museum, the meticulously restored home

contains many original furnishings and is open for tours. 1508 Locust St. FIELD HOUSE The modest house south of Busch Stadium is the only remaining structure from a block of row houses, primarily because it was the boyhood home of Eugene Field, author of “Little Boy Blue” and “The Calico Cat.” St. Louis schoolchildren raised money for its preservation (and were thereafter admitted to the resulting museum for free). Curators of the house discovered another compelling story within its walls.

Eugene’s father, Roswell Field, was the attorney who initiated the suit for Dred Scott’s freedom at the nearby Old Courthouse, eventually resulting in the aforementioned Dred Scott Decision. Today, the Field House Museum celebrates both men. 634 S. Broadway.

RAEDER PLACE This former tobacco factory (1874) in Laclede’s Landing, downtown’s oldest surviving district, sports a spectacular cast iron façade. Inside you’ll find the Old Spaghetti Factory. Outside, you can prowl the cobblestone streets and find more converted warehouses providing homes for restaurants, breweries and the Wax Museum. 727 N. 1st St. WAINWRIGHT BUILDING Louis Sullivan’s now-modest 10-story building (1892), deco700 Market

Wainwright Building

rated with his signature vocabulary of inventive organic forms, has come to be recognized as the first expression of the modern skyscraper, breaking from loadbearing masonry and relying on its steel frame to maintain structural integrity. Now a state office building, the structure rewards up-close inspection of Sullivan’s decorative genius. 709 Chestnut St. ST. LOUIS UNION STATION Yet another national competition (1894) resulted in the magnificent train station (on our cover) that, in its heyday, accommodated some 260 trains a day for 22 railroads.

Theodore Link and Harvey Ellis are credited with the Romanesque Revival structure (1894) that includes one of the city’s most spectacular interior spaces (the Grand Hall) and the famous “Whispering Arch.” Shops, restaurants and a hotel now occupy the main building and the enormous train shed. Across the street, Carl Milles’ fountain sculpture is one of the city’s best pieces of public art.

1820 Market St. CITY HALL At the peak of its glory in 1896, the city commissioned a national

design competition for its City Hall, won by a Harvey Ellis design based on the Paris Hotel de Ville.

Still a head-turner, the building anchors Memorial Plaza, which also features Soldiers’ Memorial and court buildings. Tucker Blvd. and Market St. CENTRAL LIBRARY The handsome Italian Renaissance building by Cass Gilbert won a national design competition in 1912 and was recently renovated from head to toe. Step inside and stroll through the building’s grand spaces for a peek at its incredible collection of decorative ceilings.

Olive and 13th St. 700 MARKET The building at (you guessed it) 700 Market St. was originally designed by Philip Johnson for the General American Life Insurance Company. Johnson’s striking design slices a three-story office building in half diagonally and raises the resulting west triangle to create a six-story structure pierced by a cylindrical rotunda. Now occupied by Missouri.Spire, Inc., the building served as one of the locations for the George Clooney film, “Up in the Air.” 13

St. Louis Your Way

Pizza-Lover

Fashionista

WhiskeySipper

Italy's most popular import takes many forms in St. Louis, and these three establishments offer exemplary pies. (1) Pi Pizzeria does both deep dish (which happens to be former President Obama's favorite pizza) and thin crust at five St. Louis locations, including downtown, the Central West End, and The Loop (right across from The Pageant). (2) Anthonino's Taverna takes the pizza to new and exciting places with buffalo chicken, BBQ chicken and gyro pizzas, which highlights the restaurant's Italo-Greek heritage. (3) Rigazzi's, a longtime fixture on The Hill, St. Louis' legendary Italian neighborhood (also home to Anthonino's), keeps it traditional (except for a buffalo chicken pizza) with the familiar toppings we've come to know and love along with its signature "Pizza Cheese."

Get your fashion on at (1) The Meadows at Lake St. Louis, home to the region's only Von Maur department store, along with Loft, Chico's New York & Company, Maurices, Victoria's Secret and more. (2) Ladue Marketplace, a tony strip of fashion boutiques and other retailers in one of the region's wealthiest suburbs, features shops like Pink Magnolia-A Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store, Shine Boutique, Giddyup Jane and Cha Boutique not far from Plaza Frontenac. (3) Saint Louis Galleria one of the region's major shopping centers, offers such fashion-forward retailers as Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Chico's, Forever 21, Gap, H&M, Macy's, Dillard's, Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, Vera Bradley, Charming Charlie, Michael Kors, Victoria's Secret, Torrid, Aldo, Clarks, J. Crew and Hanna Anderson.

You may have noticed that the world of whiskey is expanding exponentially as small-batch distillers coax exotic, unexpected flavors in a spirit of freewheeling experimentation. If you care to sip your way through St. Louis' whiskey landscape, here are three places to start.

(1) Gamlin Whiskey House seeks to serve the best whiskey, bourbon and scotch from the U.S., Canada, Ireland and Scotland at its handsome Central West End location. It does.

(2) Square One Brewery & Distillery makes its own uber-delicious spirits in its Lafayette Square digs and serves a menu of updated bar food to boot. The medals around Dave Weglarz's neck attest to the quality of the whiskeys and rums he turns out at (3) StilL 630, where you can take a Saturday tour of the facility just south of downtown.
