The Union Trust Building, also known as the Old Courthouse Building, stands as a testament to the architectural prowess and engineering feats of the late 19th century. Located in the heart of St. Louis, this 13-story, Beaux-Arts style tower, with its distinctive red sandstone facade, was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River at the time of its completion. Designed by the renowned architectural firm of Drake, Hennessey and Murphey, the Union Trust Building showcases intricate details, including ornate cornices, arched windows, and a striking clock tower. The Union Trust Building was a symbol of progress and prosperity in St. Louis, a city that was rapidly growing and modernizing during the late 1800s. The building housed various offices, and its ground floor was home to a bank. The Union Trust Company, a prominent financial institution, occupied the building's top floors. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the rich history and architectural beauty of a bygone era. The Union Trust Building's enduring presence in St. Louis serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and ambition that shaped America's urban landscapes during the late 19th century.
