Long Description:
The 10 story Security Building built in 1891 was originally a bank on the
lower floors and offices above except for the top two floors. The top two floors
were occupied from 1893 until 1964 by the prestigious Noonday Club, which many
of St. Louis' top businessmen belonged to and frequented nearly on a daily
basis. (the Noonday Club now occupies the top floor of the Metropolitan Square
Building, the tallest building in St. Louis)
The building was recently renovated and was the first historic building in
St. Louis to be certified "Green" in recognition of adherence to strict
environmental codes.
