Event Details

The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. The National Park Service maintains it. 

This talk will look at historic properties in the City of St. Louis. We have a wide variety of historic places, from the familiar to the not-so-familiar, including factories, parks, houses, breweries, neighborhoods, banks, churches, and even a Coca-Cola syrup plant. This talk will also look at NRHP highlights throughout the City.
