Name: Lindell Real Estate Company Building Address: 1015 Washington Year: 1901 Architectural Firm/Architect: Mauran, Russell, & Garden Standard Architectural Styles: Beaux Arts Classicism Front facade: Terra Cotta Property Type Codes: Tall Office building, classically-inspired Designation: National Register of Historic Places Ward: 7 Neighborhood: 35 History: One of the first St. Louis buildings to have its front facade entirely clad in terra cotta. "The building is of the modern, slow burning construction. It rises to a height of seven stories and is divided into two stores by a 40-foot court in the center, which is reached by a drive from Lucas Avenue. The seven-story mercantile building at 1015 Washington Avenue is significant not only as a fine example of turn of the century commercial architecture but also as an exemplar of the local crafts and trades which helped propel St. LouisĀ“ late nineteenth century growth into a major metropolis." [From the nomination to the National Register of Historic Places as prepared by Carolyn Hewes Toft, executive director, September, 1981.] |
