The building, which was one of the first in St. Louis to use setbacks, has 17 individual roofs.[5]
Its architect was Mauran, Russell & Crowell, who also designed the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis and the Railway Exchange Building (St. Louis).[6] I.R. Timlin, Southwestern Bell's company architect, was associate architect on the project.
