This place really did impress me. We decided to go on a quiet day as usually this major business district would be full of office workers going about their daily duties. If you ever go to Paris even for a short trip you must add this to your list.
Read More..Architecture Building Design, the SkyLine
The "SkyLine" level sits at the 100-foot level, apparently part of the original plans (so the platform on which it was built was already there), but not added until 1982. Some people who fancied themselves as purists apparently didn't like it, not bothering to note that it was part of the original design.
It's now used for private events such as wedding receptions or other big parties.

Read More..Architecture Design, SLUMA
The Saint Louis University Museum of Art (SLUMA) originally was built in 1900 as the home of the St. Louis Club at a cost of $320,000. The St. Louis Club dated from 1886, when it was organized in a building at Locust Street and Ewing Avenue. It was probably the most exclusive club of its time and the Lindell building was expensively equipped. An architectural competition in 1896 determined the designer and style of the building, with Arthur Dillon of the New York firm Friedlander and Dillon chosen to be the principal architect.
The architects designed the building in the Beaux Arts style, which was used for prominent urban structures around the turn of the twentieth century. The building has a raised basement of rusticated limestone and a high-pitched mansard roof. The front facade has a tripartite organization (the central projecting block displays Ionic columns) and a corbelled entablature. Flanking sections have tall casement windows with limestone surrounds and ornamental wall dormers.
