City Hall (St. Louis)
St. Louis City Hall was designed by architects Eckel & Mann, the winners of a national competition. Construction began in July 1890 and completed in 1904. Its profile and stylistic characteristics evoke the French Renaissance Hôtel de Ville, Paris, with an elaborate interior decorated with marble and gold trim.
