It’s a great example of architecture based off Hanseatic cities merchant houses of the Sixteenth Century as the Italian Renaissance finally began to work its way north of the Alps with the idiosyncratic style of the Mannerists. It’s a great building.

I do not believe there is any brick manufacturing with St. Louis clay still occurring.
