Missouri Athletic Club

405 Washington Ave
William B. Ittner w/ George Brueggeman
1914

A mid-career work by the same architect who designed dozens of St. Louis school buildings.

This solid building today stands isolated from historic context. Newer construction and parking lots have replaced everything around it, and an interstate overpass surrounds the next block of Washington Avenue as it approaches the Eads Bridge.

First image: An older postcard view looking west toward 4th Street. Though the Athletic Club and the white building across the street still stand, most of the other buildings seen here are gone.
