| 説明 | Built in 1907, this Gothic Revival-style building was designed by Mauran, Russell, and Garden for the congregation of Second Baptist Church, founded in 1833. The building was constructed in an area that, at the time, was developing as a rather affluent suburban district within the city of St. Louis, and was the result of the church following members of its congregation as they moved westward from their previous neighborhoods closer to Downtown, with the church eventually leaving this building 50 years after its construction for a new location in Richmond Heights. The building is clad in orange brick, with a red terra cotta tile gabled roof, decorative patterned brickwork, gothic arched bays, stained glass windows, a central courtyard with a cloister and freestanding tower, stone trim at the entrance portals, and a stone base. The building is a contributing structure in the Holy Corners Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The building, since 1957, has had several congregations come and go, but has remained vacant for decades, with the most recent effort to utilize the building being an attempt to turn it into the Gospel Hall of Fame, which suffered a setback when the tower was damaged by fire in 2021. As of 2024, the building is once again up for sale. |
