History

The history of skyscrapers in St. Louis began with the 1850s construction of Barnum's City Hotel, a six-story building designed by architect George I. Barnett.[2] Until the 1890s, no building in St. Louis rose over eight stories, but construction in the city rose during that decade owing to the development of elevators and the use of steel frames.[3] The first building to use a steel frame in St. Louis was the 1890-91 Wainwright Building, a 10-story office building that was one of the first modern skyscrapers. Designed by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler, it illustrates Sullivan's principle of "form follows function".[4] From 1864–1894, the tallest building in St. Louis was the Old Courthouse, at a height of 192 feet (59 m).[5][6] Throughout the 1890s and into the 1900s, St. Louis saw construction move westward, especially that of office buildings. In 1914, the Railway Exchange Building was completed, which became the city's tallest building for many years.[3] The city then underwent a moderate building boom in the 1920s leading to the planning of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in 1935.[3]

Four of the top 30 towers have been added in the 21st century; the most recent is the Tower at OPOP, a 25-story, 300-foot (91 m) tower completed in 2014 for $70 million.[7][8][9]
