The
Wainwright Building
1890
101 North 7th Street
St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Louis Sullivan & Dankmar Adler, architects
When it was built, the Wainwright Building revolutionized American architecture. The first two stories are unornamented except for the large, deep windows. Uninterrupted piers extend through the next seven stories. Horizontal panels between the piers articulate the building's interior structure. Intertwined ornaments and small round windows form the upper story.
