Description
Pen picture of the progress of the city of St. Louis, Mo. Designes and executed ... by Henry F. Vogel
Reproduction pen picture showing the progress of the city known as St. Louis, MO, designed and executed by Henry F. Vogel. Trade in St. Louis declined to about one-third previous averages after the Civil War. Trade with the south dwindled. On August 22, 1876, with most of rural St. Louis County populated by former Confederate sympathizers, the fast growing city voted to secede from the county and become an independent city. The city didn't want to fund any infrastructure or services for its county since rural interests were predominately southern. As a separate independent city, St. Louis' Union sympathetic elite in government gained in political power. They now had control of the city, and to keep control, they were protected by political bosses and organized ethnic gangs. The decision to secede has haunted St. Louis to this day.
The image features celebratory scenes of riverboat, railway, carriage and pedestrian traffic. It features inset illustrations of the Oldest House, the Missouri Republican (only paper published west of Mississippi River), Court House, Four Courts, Public School Library, Old Green House, Old Gratiot State Prison, Cotton Exchange, City Hospital, City Hall, Stone Tower 1820, P. Orphans Home, High School, New Olympic Theatre, Old Jail, Old Olympic Theatre, Log Cabin 1840, Market House and Levee, Merchant's Exchange, New Customhouse and Post Office, Fire Proof Southern Hotel, St. N. Hotel Fire, Jan. 1884, Fire Department 1849, Expositional Music Hall, Roman Catholic Church 1780, Roman Catholic Church 1835 and New Church of Mess., as well as the Seven Leading Daily Papers: Republican, Westliche Post, Post Dispatch, Anzeiger, Amerika, Globe Democrat and Chronicle.
