Originally built as a junior high school for grades seven through nine, the gymnasium and lunchroom for Ladue Middle School has always impressed me. Designed by Murphy and Mackey, a notable St. Louis architecture firm, it opened in 1958 at a cost of $1,523,618.
Designed for 1,000 students, the building has been altered over the years.
Today, several new wings protrude from the giant canopy on both sides.
Hi Chris ~
Wondering if Murphy and Mackey also designed the Christian Scientist compound at 10939 Ladue Rd in Creve Coeur. These remind me of Harris Armstrong’s work — esp the Ethical Society on Clayton. Thx como siempre!
Sorry about the slow response; it was designed by the firm of Kromm, Rikimaru and Johanse.
Hi Chris ~
