Winner of one of Landmarks Association’s 2006 “11 Most Enhanced” awards, a long-time neighborhood eyesore has been transformed into a beautiful asset to the Loop and the Skinker-DeBaliviere Neighborhood.
This building, located at 5850 Delmar at Laurel, just west of Bi-State, was vacant and neglected for nearly 20 years by the previous owner.
It was purchased by St. Louis Design Alliance partners, who found a developer ready to take on the challenge in John Mathews.
The building has now been rehabilitated, utilizing one of Missouri’s most successful programs ever, the Historic Tax Credit Program. Mathews will have offices upstairs and retail space on the first floor.
The cornice and brackets, once literally falling onto the sidewalk below, have been completely restored.
The historic name, Hamilton Bank Building, now seems suitable for such a grand building.
