American City, St. Louis Architecture: Three Centuries of Classic Design

DailyRFT.com reports on a new book by Robert Sharoff, journalist, and William Zbaren, photographer, that features examples of St. Louis architecture that reflect the city's classicism. "St. Louis is one of the most classical cities in America," Sharoff says. Zbaren describes the Eads Bridge as "the Eiffel Tower of the Midwest." The coffee table book is reported to be the first monograph on St. Louis architecture since the 1920s and is now available at Left Bank Books.
