Okay, here’s a quick quiz. Name one thing associated with St. Louis, MO.
Two sizes in this photo. The little one was in honor of hosting the baseball All-Star game that year. The large one, shiny stainless steel, towers over downtown at a height of 630 feet.
The building between the arches is one of my favorites. It’s called The Old Courthouse. A two-story, brick courthouse was first built on this site in 1826. A series of additions, removals, and renovations followed and the dome was completed on the current building in 1861. With continued changes to the interior, the building served as the courthouse until 1930.
When you visit St. Louis, be sure to include the Gateway Arch (the big one) and the Old Courthouse on your itinerary.
As a member of the St. Louis Police, Maylee Morgan, the heroine in the sweet romance, Stare Down, is familiar with the exterior of both these structures. Check out the book at the link below to discover her story and meet Dr. Dave Holmes. http://amzn.to/1LXiTwP
