St. Louis City Hall

Cake of a different color

The pollution problem was so severe in St. Louis that visibility was so limited. Streetlights remained lit throughout the day and motorists needed their headlights to navigate city streets. People thought the St. Louis City Hall building was made of black stone.

The coal-blacken exterior was sandblasted off and reveled it's true colors. Many people were shocked to see the Missouri pink granite of the first story and the pink-orange Roman brick on the upper floors and buff color sandstone trim around the window openings. And to top it all off, the roof is burgundy-red clay tiles.
