"An ancient pyramid appears to loom over downtown St. Louis high atop this building. Built in 1930 as part of the City Beautiful movement to open monumental structures in city centers, the rooftop temple was designed to resemble one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. A pair of sphinxes guard the top and winged creatures sit at the four corners." ~ Explore St. Louis
