<strong>Peabody</strong> <strong>Hall</strong><br />

Saint Louis, MO<br />

From elephant house to exhibit hall<br />

The Saint Louis Zoo is known as an architectural destination as well as a world class zoo. <strong>Peabody</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> is the oldest<br />

structure, built in the Renaissance Revival style in 1917 <strong>and</strong> originally used as the Elephant House. After 20 years of use for<br />

storage, <strong>Peabody</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> was repurposed in 2009 to house temporary exhibits in celebration of the zoo’s 100th anniversary.<br />

The most noteworthy window — an ornate quatrefoil unit in the attic — was in dire need of repair. Because of the complex<br />

shape of the window, its replacement was designed as a combination of clad true divided lites <strong>and</strong> simulated divided lites.<br />

Five pieces of glass are used to replicate the window. The <strong>Peabody</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> project includes <strong>Marvin</strong> ® Commercial <strong>Doors</strong> clad<br />

in Wineberry. All windows <strong>and</strong> doors were glazed with black sp<strong>and</strong>rel insulated glass for light control, providing flexibility<br />

for future needs.<br />

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS<br />

• y Originally valued at $23,000, the 1917 Elephant House was designed by architect<br />

George Barnett of Barnett, Haynes <strong>and</strong> Barnett, the same firm responsible for the<br />

Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis<br />

• y All windows <strong>and</strong> doors were glazed with black sp<strong>and</strong>rel insulating glass, with the<br />

sp<strong>and</strong>rel coating specially applied to emulate the appearance of field-painted glass<br />

y • The quatrefoil window uses 2" clad Authentic Divided Lites (ADL) to form the<br />

rectangular center section <strong>and</strong> 1 1 /8" Simulated Divided Lites (SDL) for the<br />

remainder of the divided lites<br />
