Downtown East St. Louis Historic District
Downtown East St. Louis Historic District, Historic commercial district in East St. Louis, Illinois.
The district spans two blocks along Collinsville Avenue, featuring 35 buildings with architectural styles from Late 19th and early 20th Century American movements.
Following a devastating tornado in 1896, the area transformed into a commercial center with the construction of the Murphy Building and Cahokia Building by 1910.
The Majestic Theatre, built in 1928, represents the district's entertainment heritage with its original design elements and historical marquee from the early film era.
The district intersects with former Route 66 along Missouri Avenue and the National Road along Collinsville Avenue, providing access to 25 contributing historical structures.
The Spivey Building and Union Trust Bank Company Building exemplify the 1920s construction boom that established East St. Louis's distinct architectural identity from neighboring St. Louis.
