Mayfair Hotel (St. Louis, Missouri)

The Magnolia Hotel St. Louis is a historic hotel in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Opened in 1925, it has been known for most of its existence as the Mayfair Hotel. The Mayfair was founded by hotelier Charles Heiss, a Bavarian who worked in hotels in Europe, Canada, and elsewhere in America. Heiss served as the assistant manager at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City and as the manager of the Detroit hotel of the Statler Hotels, an early American hotel chain. Statler transferred Heiss to St. Louis to manage its hotel there, which he did for some years before having a disagreement with Mr. Statler, in which he swore to build better hotels nearby in St. Louis. Designed by prominent St. Louis architect Preston J. Bradshaw, the hotel's 18-story building was built in 1924 and 1925. The concrete building is faced in red brick and terra cotta; it uses terra cotta extensively in its facing, window frames, ornaments, and cornices. The building had three high-speed elevators run by elevator operators. The Mayfair opened its doors on August 29, 1925, for a private reception and dinner for the 120 stockholders and contractors. The next evening, 4,000 guests were invited for a grand opening and dedication. The Mayfair Hotel featured a nine-chair barbershop, a six-booth beauty parlor (unlike at many hotels where these services would be located in a basement), and private dining rooms and a luxurious lounge in the mezzanine off the lobby. Among the hotel's guests throughout the years were Irving Berlin, John Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks, Cary Grant, Harry Truman, and Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1925, Radio station KMOX went on the air from a studio in the mezzanine. KMOX installed an $18,000 Kilgen organ and held recitals every day at noon and between 6 and 7 p.m. In 1977, the hotel was renovated. Some 85 rooms were removed and the interior redecorated, but original features were kept when possible, maintaining the building's historic value. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 1979. The hotel was sold in 2003 to local businessmen Michael and Steven Roberts, who renamed it the Roberts Mayfair Hotel. The hotel was managed by Wyndham Hotels for a time during this period. The brothers built a condominium tower next to the hotel, which proved unsuccessful, forcing them to sell the hotel to UrbanStreet Group in 2012, who then resold it for $4 million to Magnolia Hotels in 2013. Magnolia renovated the hotel, and reopened it in 2014 as the Magnolia Hotel St. Louis.

McConahay Building

The McConahay Building in Kansas City, Missouri is a two-story Tapestry Brick building designed by prominent Kansas City architect Nelle E. Peters in 1922. From the building's completion (in May 1922) to June 1923 the McConahay building housed Laugh-O-Gram Studio, Walt Disney's first commercial film studio, which occupied a five-room suite of studios on the second floor. Here, he developed the cartoon character Mickey Mouse based on resident mice that he trained. He frequently ate at the Forest Inn Cafe in the building's first floor. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The application for listing describes the building as "a fine local example of tapestry brick design architecture; exterior facades are of brickwork interspersed with cut stone and/or terra cotta blocks to form geometric designs". Historical status generally protects buildings from demolition, but it had deteriorated to the point where this had been considered. A local organization, Thank You Walt Disney, Inc., has acquired the building and is in the process of restoring it. References External links Thank You Walt Disney, Inc.

Mid Rivers Mall

Mid Rivers Mall (formerly Westfield Shoppingtown Mid Rivers) is a shopping center in St. Peters, Missouri, just off Interstate 70. The mall opened in 1987 and has since grown to be St. Charles County's largest shopping center. Mid Rivers Mall includes over 140 shops. The anchor stores are Macy's, Dillard's, H&M, JCPenney, Marcus Theatres, Vintage Stock, and Dick's Sporting Goods. There is one vacant anchor store that was once Sears. The mall is owned by CBL Properties, which acquired the property in 2007 from the Westfield Group. History Famous-Barr opened their store in 1981 on the site of the future Mid Rivers Mall. The mall was finished in 1987 with two anchor stores, Dillard's and Famous-Barr, as well as a food court; a 6-screen cinema opened in 1988. The 1990 expansion of Mid Rivers Mall included a new anchor store, Sears. Another expansion of Mid Rivers Mall in 1996 added the fourth anchor, JCPenney, which moved from nearby Mark Twain Mall in St. Charles. In 1999, Wehrenberg demolished the mall's 6-screen theater and built a new 14-screen megaplex. Later that year, Chili's opened outside the mall. Best Buy then opened in April 2000. Upon the acquisition of The May Department Stores Company by Federated Department Stores, Famous-Barr was rebranded Macy's in 2006. Dick's Sporting Goods opened at the mall between JCPenney and Sears in 2008. In February 2018, the mall began offering relatively inexpensive weekly lease rates so new retail businesses can test use of physical retail space. The initiative drives foot traffic to the mall while potentially bringing in long-term tenants. This same year the mall underwent renovation, with H&M opening, giving the mall another anchor store. On August 6, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location as part of a plan to close 26 stores nationwide. The store closed on October 27, 2019, leaving Macy's, Dillard's, Marcus Theaters, V-Stock, H&M, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods as the remaining anchor stores. Crime and legal issues In September 2017, the mall owner sued former tenant Max & Erma's, alleging that the franchisee owed over $680,000 in rent, interest, and fees after vacating their nearly 7,000-square-foot (650 m2) mall space in August; its 2011 lease was to expire in January 2022. In December 2017, a 59-year-old man was attacked and his vehicle carjacked late on a Saturday morning near the mall's Dillard's store. In March 2018, Mid Rivers was reported as one of several St. Louis area malls at which a woman allegedly photographed young girls in bathroom stalls to share with a man. In July 2018, it was reported that a 33-year-old man had been charged with invasion of privacy after he was caught attempting to record a woman while she was in a dressing room at the mall's Windsor's Fashions store. In July 2018, a shoplifting theft from a Mid Rivers Mall department store resulted in a high speed chase to St. Louis. In January 2020, two shoplifters drove over a police officer's foot while fleeing. References External links Mid Rivers Mall Website CBL Properties
Mineral Hall

Mineral Hall in Kansas City, Missouri is a historic building constructed in 1903. An elaborate example of Prairie School architecture by Louis Singleton Curtiss, it originally served as a residence. Description The building is located in the residential/mixed South Hyde Park neighborhood of Kansas City. Designed by noted architect Louis S. Curtiss it reflects a Prairie School practice of combining Second Empire, Art Nouveau and Neoclassical architectural elements. The building is asymmetrical yet almost rectangular with projecting bays on the north, south, west and northwest. The three-story structure is above grade on a full basement with approximate maximum dimensions of 75 by 55 feet (23 by 17 m).

Features of the facade include a stone veranda and the central main entrance which is approached by seven wide stone steps. The entry arch is ornamented as is the stairway and approach. History Built in fourteen months from 1903 to 1904 at a cost of US$25,000 (equivalent to $895,833 in 2025), Mineral Hall was the residence of Roland E. Bruner. He bought the building in 1905 after it had been built for William A. Rule. It was a second home in the city for Rule and he never occupied it having had it built "to maintain the quality of the neighborhood". The building and the addition on the north built the next year are important examples of the work of Kansas City architect Louis S. Curtiss. Born in Canada, Curtiss was a notable architect in Kansas City. Construction was supervised by local stone contractor Henry H. Johnson. The building was donated to the Kansas City Art Institute in 1968. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 12, 1976.

Mutual Musicians' Foundation Building

The Mutual Musicians' Foundation Building is a historic building at 1823 Highland Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. It is also known as the Mutual Musicians Association Building or the Musician's Union Local or the Local No. 627 of the American Federation of Musicians. It was a center of the development of the "Kansas City Style" of jazz, and was immortalized in the song "627 Stomp". Famous members of the Mutual Musicians Foundation included Count Basie, Bennie Moten, Jay McShann, George F. Lee, singer Julia Lee, trumpeter Hot Lips Page, tenor saxophonists Dick Wilson, Herschel Evans and Lester Young, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, drummer Baby Lovett, and pianist Pete Johnson. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1981. It continues to be used as an active performing venue, and also houses a museum. Description and history The Mutual Musicians' Foundation Building is located in downtown Kansas City, on the east side of Highland Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of pressed brick that has been covered in painted stucco. Originally built as a multiunit residential property, many of its windows have been removed, their openings filled either by bricks or glass blocks. The interior has been extensively altered from its original residential appearance. In the 1920s, Kansas City became a major center for a new style of jazz that resulted from a significant influx of musicians to the city. American Federation of Musicians Local #627 was founded in 1917, and would over a three-decade period have as members many leading jazz musicians of the period. The local sponsored tournaments in which musicians competed, whose proceeds were eventually used to acquire and adapt this building as its headquarters. The "Kansas City jazz" era ended in 1939, when political reformers gained control of the city and closed many of its clubs and musical establishments. The Mutual Musicians' Foundation, established in 1929 as the Negro Musicians Association, sponsored jam sessions and events here through the 1950s and 1960s, a practice that continues today.

New York Life Building (Kansas City)

El New York Life Building es un edificio de 12 pisos, 54,86 m (60,0 yd) de gran altura en el Distrito Bibliotecario del centro de Kansas City (Estados Unidos). La torre de ladrillo y piedra rojiza, que se completó en 1890, generalmente se considera el primer rascacielos de Kansas City y fue el primer edificio de la ciudad equipado con ascensores. Fue encargado por New York Life Insurance Company, que también utilizó el mismo diseño para el edificio del Banco Nacional de Omaha en Omaha que se completó en 1889. Varios edificios alrededor del mundo comparten su nombre. Una pieza central del distrito de la biblioteca y el distrito histórico de la avenida Baltimore, el edificio está ubicado en medio de estructuras históricas como el Kansas City Club y la Biblioteca Central. Fondo El edificio fue diseñado en 1885 por Frederick Elmer Hill del estudio de arquitectura McKim, Mead & White de la ciudad de Nueva York. Hill, quien se graduó del Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts en 1882, llegó a Kansas City en 1885 inicialmente para supervisar la construcción de su diseño, pero terminó quedándose hasta 1901, cuando diseñó otros edificios notables. Desde 1893 hasta 1895, participó en el diseño y la construcción de lo que hoy es la Catedral Grace and Holy Trinity en la cercana Quality Hill. Hill también diseñó el Salón de Convenciones. Construido en estilo renacentista italiano, el edificio New York Life tiene un exterior de ladrillo y piedra rojiza y una huella en forma de H con alas de diez pisos que flanquean una torre de doce pisos. Un águila calva monumental que cuida a los aguiluchos en un nido se alza sobre la entrada principal. La obra fue esculpida por Louis St. Gaudens y contiene más de dos toneladas de bronce fundido. Con un piso de atrio de granito italiano en el vestíbulo, la ubicación del edificio marcó el primer movimiento significativo de la ciudad hacia el sur desde su fundación en River Market a lo largo del río Misuri. La imponente estructura también marcó un cambio dramático en el skyline de Kansas City, donde los edificios más altos anteriormente habían sido de tres o cuatro pisos.​ En 1970, el edificio New York Life se agregó al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos. En 1988, sin embargo, fue abandonado. En 1996, una restauración del edificio de 35 millones de dólares agregó características modernas de energía, comunicaciones y medio ambiente.​ Comprado por la diócesis católica de Kansas City-Saint Joseph en 2010 por 11,7 millones de dólares, el edificio ahora alberga las oficinas administrativas de la diócesis (la cancillería), con un total de alrededor de 180 empleados.​ El edificio pasó a llamarse Centro Católico.
