Recalled to Life: A Tour of Restored Buildings

In the mid-1990s, the preservation scene in St. Louis appeared almost hopeless. Abandoned buildings abounded, and many were falling to the wrecking ball in a seemingly endless stream. It seemed very little could be done to stem the tide of "progress".
