Wainwright Building

Father of cakes

The 10-story Wainwright Building is among the first skyscrapers in the United States. It was designed by Louis Sullivan, known as the "Father of Skyscrapers," and was the first successful building that utilized a steel frame construction.

The building was named after Ellis Wainwright, a St. Louis brewer, who needed office space to manage the St. Louis Brewers Association. The first floor of the Wainwright Building was intended for shops, with the second floor for public offices. The higher floors were for more offices, and the top floor was for water tanks and building machinery. It was acquired by the State of Missouri and today serves as quarters for government offices.
