This tour takes us to two iconic works of public architecture in St. Louis. Pictures simply don't do either justice, so consider seeing these for yourself!

First we visit the St. Louis Library Central Branch, meeting our docent at 9:30AM. Donated by Andrew Carnegie and designed by Cass Gilbert in the Beaux-Arts style, embellishments of Renaissance and Baroque are centered around the Great Hall with dramatic cascades of staircases.

We next visit the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, built from 1907-1914 in Romanesque Revival and Neo-Byzantine style. Every inch of it’s spectacular 83,000 square-foot ceiling is covered from floor to ceiling with one of the largest collections of mosaics in the world. Tour will be self-guided with maps provided.  You may decide to walk  about 15-20  minutes back to the hotel.
