The 2nd Empire Strikes Back | This building ALMOST met the wrecking ball! @The2ndEmpireStrikesBack | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
This week we got offered an amazing opportunity to tour the old St. Louis post office building in downtown. Its a big beautiful second empire (mostly) civic building. It's a true survivor and an amazing part of our city's past. So join Kim and I as we explore another part of St. Louis's past.
