St Louis has a number of cool buildings in the uptown area. Some are just very cool mid century modern offices...but others are older. I used to spend a week there for a software conference each year.
Nice, but I hoped it had a lighted billboard we could start proselyting Miller Engineering
to offer.
What is the street address of the MP building?
201 13th Street Downtown.
There are TON of old stations scattered about town on the Old MOPAC and FRISCO mains.
There are the Scullin Steam and Commonwealth (General Steel) Buildings too.
Dont forget the great collection at the museum of transportation
Ah, just west of downtown St. Louis (3 1/2 miles), was the Tower Grove depot. It had a roof top neon signs as did the Frisco's adjacent Tower Grove depot. Dan
From the Western Rail Images web site:
That is a beautiful building. Most of us think about depots, but some of the railroad offices have survived as well.
MKT's building is a lot less ornate, but still stands at 701 Commerce Street in Dallas. I can't find the photo I took two years ago when I was in Dallas, but the Google street view shows the building to be in pretty nice shape.
