Landmarks Association of St. Louis was started in 1958 by a group of citizens concerned
with preserving the architectural heritage of the city as a whole and more specifically to subvert a
plan of the Missouri Highway Department to raze the Bissell Mansion. The organization was
first called the Committee on the Preservation and Development of St. Louis. The purpose of the
group was defined in its articles of incorporation: "To survey and evaluate buildings and places
within the St. Louis area, for the purpose of seeing to the preservation of that which is considered
of worth, historically and architecturally, to the present and future citizens of this area, and to
employ any and all legal means deemed advisable for such preservation . . ." In saving the Old
Post Office, Landmarks Association was instrumental in changing federal law, which has made
the preservation of historic structures throughout the country more feasible.
Records include correspondence, reports, newsclippings relating to the restoration of the Old
Post Office in St. Louis.
