United States Customhouse and Post Office
United States Customhouse and Post Office, Federal courthouse in downtown St. Louis, United States.
The granite building stretches 234 feet long and 179 feet deep, featuring a three-story structure with iron mansard dome and ornate facades.
Built between 1873 and 1884, architect Alfred B. Mullett designed this Second Empire style federal building to replace an inadequate customs house after the Civil War.
The sculpture 'America at War and America at Peace' by Daniel Chester French stands prominently above the Olive Street entrance of this National Historic Landmark.
Located at 815 Olive Street, the building now houses the Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District and maintains its federal judiciary functions.
A 28-foot deep moat and iron shutters were installed for security due to the presence of a subtreasury and concerns about Civil War-related unrest.
