St. Louis Public Library’s Central Library.

Located in downtown St. Louis, the Central Library opened in 1912 and was renovated in 2012. The building takes up an entire city block and consists

of three floors.

Central Library, designed by prominent American architect Cass Gilbert, boasts some of the finest examples of Beaux-Arts and Neo-Classical Architecture in the United States.

Exquisite replicas of features from the Pantheon, Vatican and Michelangelo’s Laurentian Library bring the Italian Renaissance to life in the heart of downtown St. Louis.

Today, the building showcases a masterful blend of classical and modern architectural styles while preserving Central Library’s unparalleled beauty for generations to come.
