Anheuser-Busch Brewery

Anheuser-Busch Brewery is a brewery complex in St. Louis, Missouri. It was opened in 1852 by German immigrant Adolphus Busch. It a National Historic Landmark District. The Lyon Schoolhouse Museum is on the grounds at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. It is considered to be one of the oldest school buildings in St Louis. It served as the head offices of the brewery after 1907. The museum contains rare mementos gathered from the founding of the company to current day, including pictures of the brewery and its expansion over the years. The 142 acres (57 ha) property includes 189 buildings. Some of the most striking are red brick Romanesque architecture with crenelated towers and elaborate ornamentation. The company keeps a rotation of its Budweiser Clydesdales at its headquarters; the historic draft horses were originally used to pull wagons carrying beer in the 19th-century days of the company and are now one of the recognizable symbols of the brand. Visitors to the brewery can observe the Clydesdales in their exercise field and see their places in the carriage house. Some of the herd is kept at the company farm in St. Louis County. Known as Grant's Farm (having been owned by former President Ulysses S. Grant at one time), this complex is also home to other animals such as elephants, tortoises, and a variety of mammals. Since 2008, approximately half of the Budweiser Clydesdales have been kept at the Warm Springs Ranch near Boonville, Missouri. The brewery was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1966, recognizing the company's place in the history of beer brewing and distribution in the United States. The landmarked area includes 189 structures spread over 142 acres (57 ha), including many red brick Romanesque ones "with square crenelated towers and elaborate details." The Brew House, built in 1891–1892, is particularly notable for its "multi-storied hop chandeliers, intricate iron-work, and utilization of natural light".

Apotheosis of St. Louis

Apotheosis of St. Louis is a statue of King Louis IX of France, namesake of St. Louis, Missouri, located in front of the Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park. Part of the iconography of St. Louis, the statue was the principal symbol of the city between its erection in 1906 and the construction of the Gateway Arch in the mid-1960s. History The bronze statue that stands in Forest Park today was donated to Forest Park by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company after the 1904 World's Fair. It is a replica of a plaster statue that stood on the concourse of the Plaza of St. Louis, near the main entrance to the fair (where the Missouri History Museum now stands). Its sculptor, Charles Henry Niehaus, offered to create a bronze version of the plaster model for $90,000. Instead, the company took a lower $37,500 bid from a local artist, W. R. Hodges. Niehaus sued the company for infringement of his intellectual property rights, and he was awarded $3,000 and "designed by C. H. Niehaus" inscribed on the pedestal. It was unveiled on October 4, 1906. On the west side of the pedestal is the inscription, "Presented to the City of St. Louis by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in commemoration of the Universal Exposition of 1904 held on this site." The north and south sides are inscribed "Saint Louis." The statue featured heavily in St. Louis iconography until the completion of the Gateway Arch in the 1960s. The statue in profile is the image on the arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia of the 138th Infantry Regiment (aka "The First Missouri" and "St. Louis' Own'") of the U.S. Army and Missouri National Guard. It was used as part of the logo for the St. Louis Browns in the 1930s and 40s. In 2008 it was resurrected by St. Louis Soccer United for use on their logo and converted to Joan of Arc for the St. Louis Athletica. This transmutation was made legitimate by the reconciling of Arc with Arch. Over the years, Saint Louis' sword has been stolen several times by vandals. A local urban legend says university students used to dare one another to steal it. In 2020, amid American racial unrest, a coalition of political activists called for the statute to be removed. The group was led by Umar Lee and accused King Louis IX of antisemitism, citing his burning of Jewish texts and the expulsion of French Jews, as well as the Seventh and Eighth Crusades. Local Catholics counter-protested in support of the statue by praying the rosary in front of the statue. The protest and counter-protest lasted nearly three hours and was mostly peaceful until some clashes broke out toward the end, instigated by the anti-Catholic protestors. Archbishop Robert James Carlson of the Archdiocese of St. Louis spoke in defense of the statue's presence, citing Louis IX's pious actions, including his charity towards the poor. Historian Thomas Madden of Saint Louis University evaluated the history of Louis IX and concluded that the statue is not religious art but a symbol of modern progress, ultimately arguing in favor of keeping the statue.

Apothéose de Saint-Louis

L'Apothéose de Saint-Louis est une statue en bronze du roi de France Louis IX, à l'origine du nom de la ville de Saint-Louis dans le Missouri, située devant le musée d'art de Saint-Louis à Forest Park. Elle est l'œuvre du sculpteur américain Charles Henry Niehaus. Avant l'achèvement de la Gateway Arch, la statue était le principal symbole de la ville de Saint-Louis. En 2020, dans la foulée des manifestations consécutive à la mort de George Floyd, la présence de la statue est remise en question par des activistes, qui reprochent à Saint-Louis sa participation aux croisades et les lois antisémites qu'il aurait promulgué. Des échanges tendus ont alors lieu avec des contre-manifestants catholiques, jusqu'au point de tourner à l'affrontement physique. Références Portail de la sculpture Portail de Saint-Louis
Apoteose de São Luís

Apoteose de São Luís é uma estátua do Rei Luís IX da França, homônimo de St. Louis, Missouri, localizada em frente ao Museu de Arte de Saint Louis em Forest Park. Parte da iconografia de São Luís, a estátua foi o principal símbolo da cidade entre sua ereção em 1906 e a construção do Arco do Portal em meados da década de 1960. História A estátua de bronze que está hoje no Forest Park foi doada ao Forest Park pela Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company após a Exposição Universal de 1904. É uma réplica de uma estátua de gesso que ficava no saguão da Plaza of St. Louis, perto da entrada principal da feira (onde hoje fica o Museu de História do Missouri). Seu escultor, Charles Henry Niehaus, ofereceu-se para criar uma versão em bronze do modelo de gesso por US $ 90.000. Em vez disso, a empresa aceitou uma oferta inferior de US $ 37.500 de um artista local, W.R. Hodges. Niehaus processou a empresa por violação de seus direitos de propriedade intelectual, e ele recebeu US $ 3.000 e "desenhado por C.H. Niehaus" inscrito no pedestal. Foi revelado em 4 de outubro de 1906. No lado oeste do pedestal está a inscrição, "Presented to the City of St. Louis by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in commemoration of the Universal Exposition of 1904 held on this site." Os lados norte e sul têm a inscrição "Saint Louis". A estátua teve grande destaque na iconografia de St. Louis até a conclusão do Gateway Arch na década de 1960. A estátua de perfil é a imagem nas armas e nas insígnias da unidade distintiva do 138º Regimento de Infantaria (também conhecido como "O Primeiro Missouri" e "St. Louis 'Próprio") do Exército dos EUA e da Guarda Nacional do Missouri. Foi usado como parte do logotipo do St. Louis Browns nas décadas de 1930 e 40. Em 2008, foi ressuscitado pelo St. Louis Soccer United para uso em seu logotipo e convertido em Joana d'Arc para o St. Louis Athletica. Esta transmutação foi legitimada pela reconciliação de Arc com Arch. Ao longo dos anos, a espada de Saint Louis foi quebrada ou roubada várias vezes. Foi substituído em 1970, 1972, 1977 e 1981. A estátua foi restaurada em 1999 pela Russell-Marti Conservation Services por US $ 23.000.

Das Auditorium (früher RHLT-Auditorium) ist ein Gebetshaus und Bürogebäude in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika. Das Auditorium ist ein Teil des Hauptquartiers der Gemeinschaft Christi, zu dem auch der Independence Temple gehört. Konstruktion Der Bau war eine große Herausforderung und zeigte die Vision des damaligen Präsidenten Frederick M. Smith. Der Bau begann im Jahr 1926 und wurde endgültig vollendet im Jahr 1958. Die Pläne von Smith für das Gebäude waren ursprünglich 66 % größer. Die Fertigstellung des Gebäudes kam während der Großen Depression komplett zum Stillstand. Es konnte nicht weitergebaut werden, da die Kirche hohe Schulden hatte. Das Auditorium besitzt eine Orgel mit 113 Stufen und 6334 Flöten. Diese Orgel ist unter den 75 größten der Welt gelistet. Friedenspavillon für Kinder Der Friedenspavillon für Kinder wurde im Jahr 1995 im Auditorium errichtet.

Die Konferenzkammer hat einen Durchmesser von 214 × 168 Fuß. Vom Boden bis zur Decke im Auditorium ist ein Abstand von 92 Fuß. Die Außenfassade des Auditoriums ist 114 Fuß hoch. Es war ursprünglich geplant, zwei Balkons zu bauen. Jedoch wurde aus finanziellen Gründen nur einer gebaut. Dies war besser für die Akustik im Auditorium. Auftritte Im Auditorium findet jährlich ein Auftritt der Kansas City Symphony statt, bei dem der Messiah gespielt wird. Der internationale Friedenspreis der Gemeinschaft Christi wird dort auch jährlich vergeben. Andere Ereignisse Zusätzlich zur kirchlichen Nutzung wird das Auditorium auch für Abschlusszeremonien für High School Absolventen und andere kulturelle Veranstaltungen benutzt.

Audytorium jest częścią kompleksu światowych władz Społeczności Chrystusa, w skład którego wchodzi także Świątynia Independence. Historia i budowa Budowa Audytorium była potężnym przedsięwzięciem, opartym o objawienia prezydenta Fredericka M. Smitha, który według wiernych miał kierować powstaniem tego obiektu poprzez dar natchnienia. Oficjalne rozpoczęcie budowy miało miejsce w 1926 r., zaś budynek oddano do użytku w 1962 r. Podczas wielkiego kryzysu Kościół popadł w długi, co skutkowało przerwaniem jego budowy na wiele lat. Przeznaczenie i dane architektoniczne Audytorium jest miejscem zjazdu Światowej Konferencji, najwyższego ciała ustawodawczego Kościoła. Debaty odbywające się podczas zjazdu mają miejsce w Auli Światowej Konferencji, największej sali Audytorium, mieszczącej ponad 6000 delegatów. Wymiary Auli to 214’ na 168’, zaś wysokość (od podłogi do szczytu kopuły wewnętrznej) liczy 92’. Zewnętrzna strona kopuły jest wysoka na 114’ od poziomu ulicy. W Audytorium znajdują się organy wyposażone w 113 stopni oraz 6334 piszczałki. Posiadają one ponadto konsolę do antyfon oraz dodatkowe piszczałki na tylnym balkonie owalnej części Auli. Organy Audytorium wpisane zostały na listę 75 największych organ świata. W Audytorium mieści się również Pawilon Pokoju Dzieci. Audytorium jest także miejscem dorocznego koncertu Oratorium Mesjasz G. F. Händel’a w wykonaniu Chóru Mesjasza Independence. Ponadto, wiele razy służyło ceremoniom przyznania Międzynarodowego Odznaczenia Pokoju Społeczności Chrystusa. Oprócz wykorzystania Audytorium przez Kościół, jest ono również udostępniane na czas ważnych wydarzeń kulturalnych mających miejsce w Independence oraz obszarze metropolitalnym Kansas City. Odbywa się w nim także uroczystość przyznawania absolutorium studentom tutejszej uczelni wyższej. W Audytorium przemawiało wiele prominentnych osób – począwszy od rodowitego mieszkańca Independence, prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych, Harry’ego S. Trumana, skończywszy na byłym sekretarzu stanu Colinie Powellu.

Bank of America Plaza (St. Louis)

The Bank of America Plaza, originally the Boatmen's Tower, is a skyscraper at 800 Market Street in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Completed in 1981 by Fruin-Colnon Construction, it stands 384 ft (117 m) over 31 floors and holds about 750,000 square feet (70,000 m2) of office space, the fourth largest office building in Downtown St. Louis. History The tower was first a First National Bank address and later the headquarters of Boatmen's Bancshares, a regional banking company based in St. Louis. It took its present name after Boatmen's was acquired in 1996 and its operations passed to Bank of America. It won the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) "Building of the Year" award from 1996 through 1999. Ralcorp and its subsidiary Post Foods were headquartered in the building. In 2003, Bank of America was the largest tenant, with nearly 500,000 square feet (46,000 m2) of space, and PricewaterhouseCoopers also leased offices when the building was about 96 percent occupied. Its owner, the General Electric Pension Trust, offered it for sale that year. In August 2014, part of the staff of the Laclede Group, renamed Spire Inc. in 2016, moved in. Occupancy later declined sharply amid rising office vacancy across Downtown St. Louis. After owner Positive Investments defaulted in 2023 on a loan of about $50 million, the debt passed to special servicer CWCapital and a court placed the building into receivership in early 2024. It sold for $6.3 million at a July 2025 foreclosure sale, far below its roughly $48 million value in 2009, and was offered at an online auction opening at $2 million in June 2026.
