Cake 143- Old Post Office

Found November 23, 2014


The Old Post Office in St. Louis is a beautiful piece of architecture.  Opening in 1884, the Post Office served as a main conduit for correspondence to the west.  In the 1960's the building faced demolition but a group of preservationists saved it.  The building was rrenovatedin the 1990's but the building remained mainly unoccupied until 1998.  At that point Webster University worked to help revitalize the area known as Post Office Square.  By 2006, the building was once again 100% leased.  The building houses several tenants including Webster University and St. Louis Public Library.
