The Merchandise Mart is named and listed on the National Historic Places as the Ligget and Myers/Rice-Stix Building, a remnant from the past owner’s prominent business in the sale of dry goods. This impressive structure was erected in 1880 and represents the Jewel of the undeveloped structures in the now resurgent Downtown of St. Louis. The Mart’s high ceilings, hard wood floors, exposed brick, expansive windows, and central location will beautify downtown as luxury apartments.
