Built St. Louis:

Dillard's Built in 1907 and 1921, these two similarly-clad buildings were originally home to Stix Baer & Fuller.
The complex became home to Dillard's department store (which bought out the Stix chain) with the opening of the attached St. Louis Centre mall in 1984. Dillard's closed in 2002 after functioning for years as a clearance outlet, both resulting from and contributing to the decline of the mall. The building has sat vacant since then; recent plans are being floated to turn it into additional hotel space to serve the convention center next door.
