Lindsay was the first person to accurately describe the location of where this pic was taken. This is now the lobby of the Hilton Downtown. Read her comment for the complete description.
Congratulations! The next pic will be up soon.
It’s the lobby of the downtown Hilton at 400 Olive St. It is in the former Merchants Laclede building, built circa 1889. It was advertised as a “fireproof” building, and has a wrought iron frame with hollow brick firewalls behind its facade brick. The building was designed for the banks and brokerage firms which were its early tenants. Over the years the building has had many tenants including banks, brokers, lawyers, ad firms, and Ozark Airlines was founded in this building. The building was renovated and opened as a Hilton Hotel in 2005.
That is the new Hilton downtown, the peirre marquette I believe. It used to house a bank and is now the lobby of the hotel.
