Update: Looking back now as of January of 2021, I quite frankly don’t know why I was so worked up about the demolition of the San Luis. It really was not an attractive building–it was actually quite mediocre and dated–so I don’t blame the Archdiocese for tearing it down. In fact, I have a great relationship with the Archdiocese nowadays, and many members of its staff help me on a regular basis. I do hope that one day that the parking lot is replaced with a higher use.

The Preservation Board will determine the fate of the San Luis next Monday June the 22nd at:

1015 Locust, Suite 1200
St. Louis, Missouri 63101
314)622-3400 Fax (314)622-3413

Even if you are able to attend please send the below sample letter to Preservation Board Secretary Adonna Buford, Alderwoman Lyda Krewson, and Monsigor Gardin.

Also distribute our newest flier throughout the Central West End and across the City!
