On my trip downtown to take pictures yesterday, I happened across a few projects that reached well into the planning stage, but have not materialized. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the Jefferson Arms, so you'll have to picture it in your head. You can do it.
Interior Demolition was well under way on the Ford Apartments, then one day, they replaced the boards on the windows and just left.
The Arcade building had a few false starts and was finally under preliminary construction when Pyramid folded. This hotel, office, and condo complex would have been a vital component of the Old Post Office Square area. Not pictured because I didn't venture that far east are the buildings of Millennium Square: Stix, St. Louis Center, and the former home of the Mercantile Library.
Sky House, planned as a bold, modern apartment house, is now a meek rubble-filled hole in the ground.
