As the Pizitz Building undergoes its renovation, there remain some lovely details of this 93 year old building remain. These columns with their remarkable detail are reminders of days gone by when this was a bustling department store.
There were once three major department stores in downtown St. Louis. We have none now. One is out of business and the other two have been sold and operate under different names in the suburbs (Macy's mostly, of course). But we can always go to the original Galleries Lafayette on Bd Haussmann, can't we?

An excellent detail shot!
