7x9 in photograph of the Union Trust Building in St. Louis. On the back "Central National Bank Building" is written in pencil. This fourteen-story building at Seventh and Olive was designed by Louis Sullivan and built in 1892, at which time it became the tallest building in St. Louis. The terracotta details around the circular windows present in this photograph were removed during renovations in the 1920s. The old post office is visible in this photograph further west down Olive Street.
