Banks and business blocks in St. Louis (Independent City)

This tour visits the commercial core, with banks, business blocks, stores and exchange buildings. Most were built to hold shops at street level and offices above.

10 stops, 2.1 miles end to end. One stop is a National Historic Landmark.

Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.
