"These offices for the design architects' firm occupy a long-abandoned power house, constructed in 1928, part of the Municipal Service Building complex that still occupies an entire block of downtown St. Louis. The Power House component of the complex, designated as a landmark by the National Historic Register, had confounded developers over the years who struggled with its tall volume but relatively small footprint."—Power House Restoration/Renovation at AIA web site (AIA Institute Honor Awards 2011)
