The history of St. Louis’ economy, architecture, and lifestyle can be found on the cobblestone streets of Laclede’s Landing. Use this walking tour and map as a guide to your visit. The streets of Laclede’s Landing remain much the same as they were when horsedrawn carriages and wagons labored with their loads up from the levee.
Cast Iron Building – 1855
712-714 N. Second Street.
This mixed-use building features one of the most attractive cast iron facades in St. Louis.
Witte Building – 1905
707 N. Second Street.
The Witte Hardware Company was founded in 1849 when Mr. Witte bought out Hilger Hardware. This warehouse with over 60,000 square feet of space was built for Witte Hardware and they occupied it until 1975. After a fire destroyed a separate office building the management of the Witte Hardware Company moved into the Old Judge Coffee Building and an elevated, closed walkway was built over Second Street connecting the two buildings. The walkway is now gone and the building has been completely renovated, housing a first-class restaurant on the first floor. The glass elevator and the open atrium levels offer appealing office space. The use of the original timber and steel structures for the corridors make this one of the best examples of historic renovation.
