St. Louis’s skyline has been shaped as much by what we’ve lost as by what still stands, and this month’s Unseen STL History Talk takes a closer look at the buildings that slipped away.

Join us at Leviathan Bookstore on the third Thursday of every month for an evening of local lore and unexpected history. Doors swing open at 6:30 p.m., giving you ample time to explore the shelves and connect with fellow history buffs. Talks start at 7 p.m., with a $5 cover helping support this speaker series.
