The skyline of St. Louis is home to some of the most architecturally significant buildings in the United States, from its eye catching Gateway Arch to its beautiful granite facade, copper roofed One Metropolitan Square. The St. Louis skyline is unique because of its architecture, but also the fact that St. Louis has some of the most historical buildings in the country. Many of these historic buildings are in the heart of downtown, including the historical Wainwright Building, designed by famed architect Louis Sullivan, and one of the first skyscrapers built in the United States.[1] Another prominent and famous St. Louis building is the beautiful Old Courthouse where the Dred Scott case took place. Some of its other tallest buildings include 909 Chestnut Street, and the second tallest courthouse in the world, the Thomas F. Eagleton United States Courthouse.[2][Note 1]
