Built St. Louis
Hotel Alverne / Alverne Building
Originally home to a progressive social club, then the Desoto Hotel after 1933. It was then home to a convent for many years, then a seniors residence. The building has lost virtually every bit of its original ornament; however, with the coming of the convent, it gained a stylized 1960s street level facade. Some time around World War 2, the hotel had extremely stylish matchbooks. |
