I grew up in St. Louis. The city of my youth was full of historic buildings. Thankfully Sullivan’s Wainwright Building (pics below)has been protected and there is some redevelopment of old buildings along Washington and the central west end. But the city as a whole is in terrible shape. The population of the city proper (area is actually fairly small) was well over 800,000 when I was a kid. Now it’s barely over 300,000. The north side is gutted. Though it doesn’t get the pub of other old industrial places like Detroit it has faced a similar fate. It was the only place outside of the Detroit area with assembly plants for the big three American auto companies—GM, Ford, and Chrysler. They closed in the fifties and the place nose-dived. It has never really recovered. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/b/6/b61cee765bf8cc3047d410c74b9ad9e232404fd5.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/6/3/630950a8a1975e12aa5b6f08b14b4870c353c50e.jpeg) ---

Right–Bayard Condict is all there is in NYC. Buffalo is graced with the magnificent Guaranty Building below. Adler and Sullivan was a great Chicago firm in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Frank Lloyd Wright got his start there. Daniel Burnham, also a classic Chicago architect, worked on the Flatiron Building. ![Screenshot 2022-11-06 at 2.22.45 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/4/4/447dd47b6b013758d65d37e3ce44f4be80418715.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2022-11-06 at 2.23.13 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/6/9/6915e767af66ccbf02e472af22d19810faf65cbb.jpeg) ---
