I^I^ESI^^V^OE, The author of this modest publication thought that the great metropolis of the Mississippi Valley, a city of 500,000 inhabit- ants, was badly in need of a Guide worthy of the name, for the accommodation of the numerous visitors who come to the city either for business or pleasure. Having resolved to publish such a guide, his next object was to make it of real interest ; therefore drawings were made of various Parks and Public Buildings, and by the aid of the Photo-Engraving process the drawings were turned into engravings, so that the read- er, either visitor or resident of the city, besides gaining a certain amount of information from these pages, will have the most interesting points brought before his ejei Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1876, by CamilleN. Dry, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Shultz & McDoKALD, Printers, 225 Pine, ST, LOUIS. o w o o < I — { o ouisianBS, St. Louis became a Spanisb posession, and it -vvas under that government that on the 6th of TMay 1780 the peaceable inhabitants had to resist their only attack by tbe Indians. Happily tbey were prepared to give the savages a warm reception, and after a severe fight forced them to retire, but fearing another assault, they strengthened their for- tifications, which had the ortion of the cod<>d u h-^ 0^ W to \> td E H ^ td 1 w 'a C/5 M w o M ^ ^ H -s O .^ ^ M P HISTORICAL SKETCH OF ST. lOl'IS. (Continued.) Country orders are promptly attended to, the day received at 'S territory . St. Louis was theu only a village of about 1200 inhabitants, mostly of french origine, and con- tinued about the same until the close of the Indian wai'S in 181"), when suddenly a new impetus was giv- en in the shape of valuable immigration pouring in from Virginia, Tennessee and other eastern states. In the meantime Europeans emigrants coming- through New Orleans, it soon became evident to the intelligent St.Louisians that their village would soon become a town, and that for the town to become a city was only a question of time. On the -id of August 1817 the first Steamboat appeared on the mighty Mississippi. Thirty years later St. Louis haa telegraph lines connecting with the East, and 1848 brought the locomotive. In May 1849 a disastrous fire broke out on the levee, twenty-five steamboats and eight blocks of buildings were swept away, the losses amounting to $3,000,000. Then the cholera made its appearance carrying off many victims. These two elements of destruction taught the citizens the value of a fire de- partment and sanitary regulations. From 1850 to 1860 prosperity and popula- tion increased in a remarkable degree, but during the war everything was brought to a stand-still. Once the noise of cannon abated however, St. Louis began a race for supremacy with all the other cities of the west She has nobly taken the lead, and does not intend to let her rivals get ahead. m &OOSS ARCADE, St. Louis.

Eads, : >^ j. The whole length of the Bridge inclu- ! L ^J ding its approaches is 6220 feet, the bridge • itself being 2046 feet and the abutments q \ \ measuring 524 feet. *^ pH The rest is divided in three spans, two 3, >»*^ 'of them 502 feet in length and the centre ^ w^ one 520 feet. ^ ^ (^ The brigde is two stories in height. ]3 ^^ the lower one is exclusively for the use of | ^ ^£^ railroad trains which go through the tunnel g- p^ •connecting with the Union Depot, the upper ^ one is for the use of vehicles of all descrip- ^ tions, and for pedestrians, whose enti^nce is at the junction of Washington avenue Jtnd Third street.

DESCRIPTION OF NE\¥ Custom HooscaoiiPost Office With the rapid growth of this oityjthe building now in use having proved for a number of years past inadequate to the wants and purposes needed for ihe transaction of the business at this point, the goveni- ment in 1872 'purchased the entire block bounded by Eighth and Nintli, Olive and Lociist streets, and U] ) on phius adopted by the supervising architect at Washington, the woi'k of excavating was com- mi-nced. Great ditficulties were experienced in getting satisfactory foundations. Some 4000 or nOOO piles had to be driven in the too soft soil, in order to make it more solid, upon this, the erection of tlie building- was started, the lower portion was built of Missouri red granite, and the part above ground of gray gran- ite from the east. The rest is composed mainlj^ of iron, so that the building will be entirely tire-proof. The estimated cost was $4,000,000, but owing t ) delays in appropriations and other causes it is thought that when finished, it will have cost at least $5,000,000. But then St. Louis will have a valltable addition to her architecture and a Post Office worthy of her size and future greatness. The mails will be distributed in the basement of the building, and this being on a level With the tunnel (where all eastern trains ]>ass) it will be of great advantage for handling incoming and outgoing mails. The engraving on tlie preceding page shows the building in its present stage, and m future editions it is proposed to keep up with its progress. u t^ ■^ U-' lt> fW 5.IH n^ IrW t-^ ^3 o MERCHANTS EXCHANGE, oq" m 11,. < CC -a^^ m 5 ^|.S tf "? ^t' o ^ CO h^ ^'^ g 111 o alei •■^^ t^ H Q ^ g-^g <1 w ^1 02 (-1 '^ ^ ^ P ^ H :c^ ^ Located on Third, bet. Pine and Cl^estijut Streets, ST. LOUIS, MO. This buildiug designed by Messrs. Lee & Annan, is of modern Italian style. The tirst story being of Roman Doric order, and the npper stories of Com- posite order. The third street facade is broken or diversified in the central portion by isolated columns, extending throughout the several stories, and cul- minating at the main cornice in an imposing pedi- ment. The wings at either side and the Pine and Chestnut street fronts are treated with pilasters cor- responding in their details and carvings with the columns . That section of the building containing the Grand Hall is marked by semi-circle head windows, and is separated from the "office" building by open courts. The character of the building is one of simple dignity, depending more upon correct proportion and elegant detail for effect, than upon meretricious % OYnament and xiseless contortion of ootline. In this ' it correctly represents the character of the business men who dally assemble within its walls *=! One of the most serious di'awbacks that detracts ^ from the outward appearance of the building, is the 'm narrowness (^f Third Street, one of the oldest, as it is also one of the most compactly biiiit streets in the h^ ig «ity. The building committee jjartially obviated the § -^^ trouble by dedicating to public use a largely incrcas- ed width of pavement, removing in some degree the ^ jg^ M confined appearance so objectionable. ^1^ LJ The grand hall of this Merchant's Exchange has E< [TQ IK) where in this country a rival in point of magnitude g' ,t^ 5ind architecturai beauty; it embraces 226 feet in (J5 ^ length, % feet in width and 70 fe«t in height, it is q IL lighted from all sides by 61 windows, arranged in P m ^wo lines, the lower row beimg 10 feet by 26 In ttie i^ ll o ^ a S . o ^ f ■' 1 • <^ t—* o >^ CO ■^i p: :•§ C^ •1^ r" T^ u fa cr. • rH ^o r-J -^ o ,,^^ ?i o w- .^ ^ hJ ^^ ~>~^ ^* ^ ^^— > ^\ X ^ s This commodious edifice situiitttl on Clark Ave. between 11th and Twelfth Streets, bears some vrsem- blance in structure to the famous palace of the Louvre In Paris.

St. Louis may justly be proud of lier numerous Charitable Institutions, for nowhere in the United Stales and probably in the world is the system of pub- lic and private Charities, so complete as in St. Louis. To commence with Hospitals ; There are a dozen institutions in which persons of both sexes and of all nges and nationalities daily find refuge in time of sick- ness and its attendant sulTering. These Huspilals have ample accommodations ; are lar^^e, well ventilated and cleardy kept. Large grounds surix)und them and they are alto- gether calculated to restore health to those who are 'deprived of tli^e comforts of hom-e. CITY HOSPITAL. The nwst important of our charitable instiUitiuns is the City Hogpital,a view of which is on the opposite page. It was built by the city some 35 years ago and at first consisted of only tlie front building, but with the extraoi^inary gix)wtli of the city other addi- tions were necessitated in order that its capacity gnight corixispond with the needs of the increased pop- 'iilation. As it no\v stands, accommodations are provided for about 600 patients, but the usual number •of cases on hand average 400, among those are rep- ?iesentatives from all the civilised nations of the earth. Not only every state in the union, but Eui'ope, Asia and Africa furnish their quota. This fact sliows with- out a doubt what a point of con cent i^t ion is -St. Louis. The hospital is situated on a high, airy Ivx'atioD, its cleanliness is the admir-ation of all visitors and its neatly laid out gix)unds are pleasant to the eye. In short no pains arc spared to make the hospital attrac- tive, and for this much credit is due to the officer in 'charge. To reach it, take the cars on Pine, tet 4th and Sth Sts., ^hose whose signs read Union Depot and Lafayette Park- m INSANE ASYLUM The nbtrve engravmo: represents tlie City Insane Asylun>, situated on Arsenal Street Road, a short dis- tance from Tower Grove Park and Shaw'^s Garden. It is a larire, well-proportioned and very imposintr edifice. Situated on an elevated spot, standing "soli- tary and alone" in its grandeur, it may be seen, a prominent object, for miles around. The interior arrangements ^^^ll be found to fulfil the expectations aroused by the appearance of the exte- rior. It is divided into two departments : the Western half being occupied by the women and the enstern by the men, Every attention is paid to the comfort of the inmates, and v/hile it is sad to contemplate the afflicted of God's creatures who are deprived of the most prec- ious of all boons, the gift of reason, it is n source of" gratification to reflect that their bodily wants are so> well supplied, and that everf effort is made to soften as far as possible the hardship of their lot. POOR HOUSE^ Tli-e Poor House is situated gome 500 yards be= yond the Tnsan-e Asylum, at the jun-ction of Arsenal street Road and the old Manchester Road„ It is in this establishment that the 'city of St, Louis takes care of -imd supports the class of poor generally called* ^Paupers" 5,hose who from debility, oH age, misfortunes or imbeeil^ ity of mind are not able to support themselves, and be=> Tome dependent upon the charity of the public for their existence. While here they are required to perform such labor about the building as is consistent with their strength. They are provided with wholesome food- the laws of cleanliness are strictly enforced, and the location of the institution pleasant and salubrious ; the?e circumstances combined unite to make the City Farm a refa;j^e where even honest poverty need not he ashamed to dwell. -3«- MARINE HOSPITAL. The above engraving is a view of llie JMarine Hospital buildings ; a place where i-iver-men are takeo care of, wlien they are sick, or when lhey have mef with accidents in the discharge of their duties, Located on a beantifnl spot, overlooking the River and surronnding country, it is certainly well adapted to its purposes. This Hospital is situated in the sonthern portion of the city. To reach it, the visitor most take the fifth street cars going south^(St. Lonis Rail Road Co.) and ask the conductor to be put down at Marine ave. when a walk of three minutes will bring bim to the o-ates of the institntion. c OTHER HOSPITALS, ALEXIAN BROS.

This appearance is caused by the mixture of light sandy particles, but on its being allowed to settle, the water becomes comparatively clear and very palatable. It is said to keep longer and sweeter on a sea voyage, than the water of perhaps any other stream. 43 MARKETS.

The Park comprises 30 acres of artis- tically laid out ii:roiincls, diversified by o^en= tie hillocks and pleasant valleys^ Well grave!led walks extend in all directions, and moss-grown rocks form inviting retreats. In the middle of the Park is an Arti- ficial lake, with water fowl sailing on its glassy surface and a plashing fountain in the centre. Here for a small sum, boats may be hired for a row on the water. Near the lake is a colossal statue of Benton, Missouri's greatest statesman. This statue is the work of Miss Hosmer, the American sculptress, On the south side is a copy of Houdon's celebrated statue of Washington. i)n the east and west sides are rustic bridges. caves, fountains and grottoes. Flower plats a- bound, and their gay colors charm the eye, while their sweet odors fill the air with fragrance. Here oq pleasant afternoons may be seen troops of romping children, On Thursday afternoons at 4 o'clock, commen- cing from May 1st a band of music '"dis- courses sweet sounds" to thousands of people. To reach 'he Park take the yellow cars on Fourth street, marked Lafayette Park ; or those marked Union Depot and Lafayette Park, which start from corner of Fourth and Pine gtreets.

If, as has been asserted, the refine- ment of the inhabitants of a City may be judged by the coudition of its cemeteries, 8t. Louis does not stand in the back- ground ; for the care bestowed upon its beautiful resting places of the dead, is of the most praiseworthy character. Fine walks and drives intersect them, while forest trees and carefully tendered flowers embellish them. In point of size, Bellefontaine ranks first ; but both are adorned with many beautiful and costly monuments. Calvary, the Catholic Cemetery, ad- joins Bellefontaine ; but the principal en- trance is about three-fifths of a mile dis- tant, A card of admission is required to visit Bellefontaine, and this may be ob- tained on application at Cemetery office, second floor, N, E. corner 4th and Olive streets. To reach Cemeteries, take cars on 5th street goiug north, which connect at Bremen avenue with the cars going di- rectly to their gates. I'here are about tw^enty-five other Cemeteries of minor importance located in the suburbs of the City, w 2. fT n -ffi ; O p : O ^ 1=: o i_j ' 5VH p &.P (B 1^-%^ ^g|-bJ o S « w 3 ^ 1^2,0 ,_, o c« m O l^ §w B ^ p^ in O P 5G- Street Railway Guide Bellefontainc Railuay.
