I’ve stayed at the St. Louis Union Station Hotel, several times. I can honestly say it’s one of the most breathtaking buildings I’ve ever step foot in, and it really makes you think you’re stepping back in time when you enter the main hall. One thing that’s very interesting though, is that during the evening when the bar is open in the main gallery, they have a light show that plays every hour or so, which is really cool. But what struck me as particularly interesting was the brief “American Pride” movie they project against one of the walls during the light show. The movie shows many scenes from the late 1800’s-early 1900’s which may seem innocent enough to the average viewer, but as a researcher of the “old world/hidden history” theory (Tartarian architecture as some call it), I couldn’t help but wonder if the real purpose of the movie is to drive home the point that “We, the founders, built all this stuff!!”. In other words, indoctrination. Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s an interesting side note. Great video as always! 👍

I'm at time maker 24.-0 on the video and I wanted to respond to your ponderance of the amount of large foundation stones and brick on both residential and commercial buildings. Missouri sits partially on one of the largest limestone belts in the world. it's called the Burlington Limestone Belt.- here's where you get all of your limestone foundational stones and limestone building blocks. Also, within 100 miles of St. Louis there are a ton of clay mines - hence bricks which are a accessible and cheap building material. Hope I answered your questions on why some many places in St. Louis are build from limestone and brick.

I live in St. Louis and worked on a brick crew for a few years. St. Louis brick is very desirable. When buildings come down it is not uncommon to have the reclaimed brick shipped out to places like Los Angeles to be used to build mansions. While there are an enormous variety of brick, typically speaking walls made with new brick just seems less appealing than walls, new or old, made with what we in St. Louis call "city brick". There is so much brick construction here that I have always thought of it as Brick City USA. There have been many amazing buildings torn down. There are amazing buildings sitting around in this city just rotting. The Northside of the city has been the ghetto side for a long time.

*I have lived in St Louis since 1985, so I have some first hand experience. The reason that everything here is made of brick is because of the clay content of the soil here. When I finally bought a house I fully understood just how bad it is: if you put a shovel in the ground here, you'll come up with weeds growing in the very red clay "soil". It's so bad that I had to get real soil trucked in to cover the property.* *Union Station, as pretty as it is, is just a shadow of it's former (pre-1986) self, still it's staggeringly beautiful when you look closely. U/S strongly reminds me of New York City's Grand Central Station - their designs and execution are very very similar. The design of Grand Central allows you (or used to allow you, before they locked it down) to walk up a staircase and view the terminal from each height at the various landings, eventually allowing you to look through "peep holes" in the GCT cieling, looking down on the terminal's floor. A truly breathtaking view, which I used to visit regularly when I was a kid (1950s).*

However, for a comparitively primitive people to build these ornate superstructures with such detail and scale to stand the tests of time i really begin to question the narrative.

Looking past the bricks I would like to know who did the columns...:)

The city homes you drove us passed are know as “Chateauxesk”. Saint Louis at this time was dominantly a Germanic Anglo-Saxon population who brought their architectural tastes from their Homeland. Building in Brick was a standard of building in the 19th century and well into the 1950’s for domestic houses. These a bearing brickwork…..as it actually and properly holds up the entire structure. Balloon construction was also employed. The Greco-Roman as you reference to it was ultra modern for its day…all due to the Beaux Art Movement from 1889 to 1939. The last beaux Art building built in the USA are the Jefferson Memorial and the Supreme Court at Washington D.C. What I’m noticing about Saint Louis is all that is missing (torn down). The water towers were needed to gravitate water to the third and four foot of a house. The towers were constructed to look beautiful and “picture-esk”. Towers on the buildings of that time were also water towers for that building. There is an old water tank still up there (empty now) but needed for water pressure before City pumping stations were builded. What looks like wealth is/were family homes. All families had many many children once. 8 and 9 children was standard for any Denomination. Classical Architect was employed because it was to show the New World (the USA) was taking the Old World beauty with modern conveniences ie. hot water, electricity, gas, central heating, which all was ultra new at the time.

🐍..Never would've known. It's so inconceivable yet there it is.😮 Love this channel. ❤

I always consider Rome to be the case when it comes to these places, or whatever Rome actually was. Because I also think about our current world religions, and one of the most powerful occupies its own city-state right in the heart of Rome, not to mention the power that particular faction has wielded for centuries, and using its power to stamp out other people. Of course it goes deeper than that, but you always talk about something within the people, from the inside, to conquer them. And there isn't a force on Earth more powerful to do that than a person's belief, superstitions, or religion. Was it a malevolent force, or was it the people themselves. We underestimate the power of doctrine, forgetful of the witch-hunts and inquisitions, and seem to forget many in the old days were forced to accept dogma and regime be they religion or the conquerors or die by the sword. I couldn't say for certain whether it was Rome who had begotten the nation of what we call America way back when, it could have easily been Etruscan, or a faction not yet considered, and by this I do mean Tartaria regardless if that's what they called themselves. Recall the Romans came up with all kinds of names for other peoples of which they did not call themselves. Such it remains curious this thing we call the world, most of it we can see is probably not as it was originally, altered in some ways which we can't comprehend or more likely things which we cannot perceive because they are so totally commonplace that we don't even give them a second thought but to the trained eye, stick out like a sore thumb!

I do this is australia, in melbourne we have some wild old buildings. I have found repeating patterns in the rough stones so I believe nothing was cut it was all crushed and formed. I believe the images of people represent exactly what people in that society were at that point. They were so advanced the tooling would have all been pneumatic even larger digging machines and crushers. All scrapped and smelted before giving out a cart or two for a horse and start again. Compressing air can be done I so many different t and even simple ways and can power just about anything. There's no money in it I'm tipping that's why we burn stuff to move stuff now.

Your thoughts on pneumatic machines is a great observation IMO. Could the tinder cars on "steam trains" have originally been air tanks, with the pistons working as compressors when going downhill and the stored air pressure used to move the train uphill? Manufacturers of model steam trains like Wilesco use compressed air to test their products.

@mitchdowning8188 I think so, it makes sense. The k8netic energy of its movement would be enough to fill the tanks. Some of the most powerful tools I use in construction are all air tools and the range is limitless basically except for where larger hydraulic machines have monopolies over that type of equipment.

A lot of the bricks came from, what is now, the Tower Grove South neighborhood. The Russell family, for whom Russell Blvd is named in the Compton Heights neighborhood, mined coal in Tower Grove South and discovered tons of red clay. So they opened Oak Hill Fire Brick and Tile Works around 1855ish. This is where much of the building material came from.

No one makes bricks like that today, or in such quantity. Too bad the process is no longer used. Of course, this account you repeat is just written and there is no physical evidence of these brick manufacturers. It does not mean it did not happen, but it does not mean it did that way either. Who made all the columns?

I’m here right now!! I can’t get in because I’m not staying at the hotel! So others remember this before you drive here. Thankfully I found a security guard who is going to let me in to take some pictures.

Brother, i lived in a city called "trois rivières" in canada. They got the most numerous amount of old world buildings per square feet, every commute thru the city was quite astounding. Edit: The province of Québec was (found) founded in the early 1600's. Qc city and trois rivières are probably the oldest in America. Worth a look for real 😂

I was looking at some of the older skyscrapers in downtown Dallas the other day and noticed how ornate the tops were! Many had very detailed and intricate stonework and statues. But most would never notice! Few crane their necks up 40 stories to see what towers above. I always wondered, why then did they put all the beautiful stuff so high up? I thought maybe the had remodeled/scraped the old facades off 🤷🏼‍♀️

Exactly but it does look the part.

I used to maintain the Bogan building and the Vanguard apartments on Washington Ave. Very interesting buildings indeed.

The Grand Ave Water Tower is one of the buildings that got me interested in St. Louis history. Another was the Fairgrounds Park Bear Pits which looks like a medieval castle. Also, to answer your question about whether or not everyone in the Compton Heights neighborhood was wealthy, that’s exactly what happened. Compton Heights was a premier wealthy neighborhood for German immigrants, who made their fortunes in various industries, like beer brewing, wholesale groceries, banking, and other industries that made them quite wealthy. The more modest homes are further from the city center, in neighborhoods like Dutchtown And finally, as St. Louis expanded, the areas where bricks had previously been made from the clay mined out of the ground were built upon, and the brick manufacturing moved west. Most of the streets and alleys were paved with bricks as well.
