The Cotton Belt Freight Depot in St. Louis, Missouri at 1400 North 1st Street. It is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The five-story freight depot was constructed in 1911. Its most distinctive feature is its long, narrow shape. The concrete building is approximately 750' on its east and west elevations and only 30' on the north and south. The five stories include a series of loading dock doors on both sides that are sheltered by a concrete awning. Widely spaced metal-frame industrial type windows line the upper stories. A slightly taller cornice line marks the section of the building where the company offices were located. Most of the building's detail is reserved for this section where the company's name is displayed in two levels over a bay window.Other details include terra cotta medallions on the corners bearing the name "Cotton Belt Route"; a Classical style frame around the office door; keystones that decorate the windows near the building's north end; and copper lion's heads that join the awning poles to the building. The depot is vacant and graffiti litters its walls but the building retains integrity of design, workmanship, setting, and association.Direct link to National Register nomination document: http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/04000344.pdfActivities and CultureArticaSince 2002, the Cotton Belt Freight Depot has been the usual location of Artica, an annual grassroots outdoor and multidisciplinary arts festival."Migrate" MuralWork is underway to utilize the depot's distinctive eastern wall for a large scale mural; a renovation that intends to transform the site into a welcoming visage for those traveling entering the state via the upcoming Mississippi River bridge.
