Located on South Grand Blvd (2256 S. Grand to be exact) in the Tower Grove East neighborhood, this building was built in 1895 as a "first class restaurant and liquortorium." Known later for owners James and Catherine Pelican, who ran the establishment from 1945-1978, the former restaurant was recycled into offices in 1986. However, today it sits vacant and in need of renovation. This building became a St. Louis city landmark in 1976.
If I had millions of dollars, I'd buy and refurbish that place. Maybe put a sign on it, "Leif's Liquortorium!" Welcome to the CDP blog community - I hope you enjoy the ride!

Thought this was an appropriate "Thank You" since it's what I thought of when you opened with "had a million dollars."

I use to work there back in '83, sad to see her that way.
ReplyDeleteMy parents used to take me there, and I'd order fillet of sole. I remember the wallpaper in the dining room, an underwater scene showing various types of fish. As a kid, I thought it looked "scary."
