I’m so happy you’re doing this work. I am a structural engineering student who will move to St. Louis and work full time for a company that ends up working on many restoration and revitalization work of buildings in and around downtown St. Louis. I love the work and love historic buildings, and sadly too many times the ability to save or doom a beautiful building is in the hands of a developer or other agency :(

As you may know, my Substack is about what local athletes do when they compete in the NCAA. Current happenings, if you will. But, I did find this interesting while I was researching an article. There are only two high schools outside of St. Louis that play Field Hockey, and it is pretty much a sport played by private schools. But, I found a Field Hockey team at Central High school in KC that played in 1917. The irony is that, similar to the current FH athletes in college this year, they too, had a season shortened by a pandemic. A history of sports in a metro area would be interesting, too!

Any idea what the hotels plans are if they’re successful?

Wow. A building with both political and artistic significance!

I'm very fortunate to live in a city (Winnipeg) with numerous historical buildings that have been well preserved and repurposed. I only wish St. Louis had the same.

I wish there was the equivalent of you in Kansas City!. However, I am enjoying getting to know St. Louis better.
