The Security Building, one of St. Louis' most significant 19th century office buildings, is the city's only remaining commercial structure designed by the renowned architectural firm of Peabody & Stearns. Built in 1891, a year before Louis Sullivan's pioneering Wainwright Building on 7th Street, the Security Building represents an earlier Classical Revival Style.
One of the first two tall office buildings on 4th Street - the other being the Merchants Laclede Building - the Security Building enhanced the street's prestige. By 1900, 4th Street was the city's financial center and was known simply as "The Street."
From 1895 until 1964 the prestigious Noonday Club occupied the top two floors. Many of St. Louis' leading citizens frequented the club on an almost daily basis. The club membership boasted sponsors of Charles Lindbergh's historic 1927 transatlantic flight in the "Spirit of St. Louis."
