St. Louis City Hall, Tucker Boulevard at Market Street, Saint Louis, Independent City, MO

Significance: This structure, which has housed city government since 1898, is a city landmark by appearance and reputation. The design of the building was chosen from among six designs submitted through a national competition. Architecturally the building is an impressive period piece of craftsmanship and representative of a particular French Renaissance Revival style that is comparatively rare for public buildings in the US, as well as a seemingly sensitive gesture to the French heritage of the City of St. Louis.
