One of the property’s many highlights is an unfinished theater with 2,200 seats.The lobby has a 38-foot mural titled “The Origins of Freemasonry”, which was created in 1941 by Jessie Housley Holliman and dedicated by Senator Harry S.

The Continental-Life Building, also known as the Continental Building, is an Art Deco skyscraper in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, which was completed in 1930. The building is located in Grand Center in St. Louis' Midtown neighborhood, and it is visible from Interstate 64/Highway 40 and Interstate 44. Commissioned by Edward Mays to be the home of his two businesses, Continental-Life Insurance and the Grand National Bank, the building was designed by William B. Ittner, a prominent St. Louis architect. On September 22, 1955, the building was purchased for $2 million by then 27-year old developers Robert A. Futterman and Jerry Tenney. When Futterman died suddenly in 1961, choking on a sandwich at a dinner party at age 33, his death propelled the building into near insolvency. In his 2003 book The Queen of Lace, The Story of the Continental Life Building, developer and author Stephen Trampe called it \"the sandwich that started the decline.\" The tower housed businesses through the mid-1960s when its co-owners included St. Louis mayor Alfonso J. Cervantes, prominent St. Louis defense attorney Morris Shenker, and Harold Koplar of KPLR.
