American City: St. Louis Architecture: Three Centuries of Classic Design -- Take 2

Whew, this book has a long name!  We'll just call it American City.

If you're in St. Louis, from St. Louis, or St. Louis-adjacent in some way, this is an easy-to-browse coffee table book.  Buildings highlighted in the book are in chronological order (and frankly, I could have done without a few of the modern ones).  It's fascinating to open the book and see a building you've seen a hundred times before, but appreciate it in a whole new way now that you know some of its history.

  1. I want to read this, but I'm afraid of the homesickness it might cause...
