Supreme Court of Missouri
In 1905, utilizing the excess appropriation from the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, the Missouri General Assembly designated approximately $195,000 to build the Supreme Court Building.
The three-story, red-brick building officially opened in October of 1907. The structure features French Renaissance architecture, stone pillars at each wing of the front facade, stone trim and a slate roof. Prominent in the lobby is an elegant Carthage marble staircase.
The building houses the seven judges’ offices; the Supreme Court clerk and the clerk’s staff; two courtrooms; the two-story-high Supreme Court Library; and the office of the state attorney general. Intricate portraits of past judges of the Court are located on each of the three floors.
