Like many industries, Stupp Brothers moved out to more suburban surroundings in the Twentieth Century after being located in the city. The story of the Stupps is fascinating, having been founded in 1856 by Johann Stuppd and his sons

The company is still privately held and has built steel components for bridges, pipelines and even perhaps helped James Eads with the construction of ironclads during the Civil War. You can read more about the company here, as well as the obituary of the great-grandson of the founder, who was also a longtime executive at Stupp Brothers.

Stupp Brothers is located in a suburban area off Weber Road, which is right on the city-county border. Monte Bello Pizza is located nearby.
