Eames & Young

Eames and Young was an American architecture firm based in St. Louis, Missouri, active nationally, and responsible for several buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.

Young was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and came to St. Louis to attend Washington University, then spent two years at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1880,[1] and briefly worked for the Boston firm of Van Brunt & Howe.

Their first works were elaborate mansions for Vandeventer Place and other private places in St. Louis, which led to an important series of landmark downtown warehouses, later collectively known as Cupples Station.

Through the 1900s and 1910s, the firm designed several St. Louis skyscrapers and built a reputation for offices, schools, and institutional buildings constructed nationwide.

Young's last building was the colossal 1926 St. Louis Masonic Temple on Lindell, and he quit practice in 1927.
