Downtown St. Louis

Harris traces the evolution of downtown St. Louis from the original French settlement to the post-modern architecture. Commerce from the days when only flatboats connected St. Louis to the other frontier settlements to the celebrations in the streets at the news that Japan had surrendered are recounted in the heavily illustrated, 200 page, hardcover book.
