Mississippi Valley Trust Company Building

The location is at 401 Pine Street in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri.[1][2][3]

The two-story building was completed in 1896.[1][2] It was designed by architectural firm Eames & Young in the Beaux-Arts architectural style.[2]

It was home to the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, a local bank which "financed transportation and communication networks in the St. Louis region, and was a supporter of the St. Louis World's Fair".[2] The bank was later acquired by the Mercantile Bancorporation,[2] which was in turn acquired by the Firstar Corporation, and eventually U.S. Bancorp. Later, the building was home to a restaurant.[2] It is now home to Covo, a San Francisco-based coworking space. It is also home to a coffee shop and cocktail bar called Trust, a homage to the building's origins.[2][3]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 25, 2001.[1] Additionally, it has been designated as a city landmark by the City of St. Louis, Missouri.[2] Furthermore, it is the third location on the Let's Roam Saint Louis Architectural Scavenger Hunt.[4]
