"St. Louis is the largest metropolitan area to host one of the museums — typically they are placed in smaller cities and always in historic buildings in need of preservation. Historic preservation is certainly the case for the St. Louis location, which is housed in the former Third Church of Christ, Scientist." ~ KWMU St. Louis Public Radio
"The building, a six-columned brick-and-stone church with arching stained-glass windows, sits just five houses off South Grand Boulevard, across the street from Compton Hill’s Reservoir Park, and on a block of mansions, luxury apartments and grand old St. Louis homes. Originally the Third Church of Christ, Scientist, the 107-year-old Greek Revival structure more recently housed the New Paradise Missionary Baptist Church." ~ St. Louis Post-Dispatech, by Christine Byers, Mar 28, 2019
