The City Museum ferris wheel sits aside some unusual amusement park features in the Washington Ave Loft District of St. Louis. The museum consists largely of repurposed architectural and industrial objects.
The Compton Hill Water Tower was built in the French Romanesque style toward the end of the 19th century, as St Louis’ growing demand for water exceeded its existing water delivery system. The tower's materials consist of rusticated limestone, buff brick and terra cotta on its face. It also hosts a griffin and vine-like scrolls on its base. Inside, 198 iron steps spiral around a standpipe, ending in an observation deck with a 360-degree view of the City. Functionally, the Water Tower was retired in 1929, but has opened and closed to visitors throughout the years, depending on maintenance needs. The surrounding park has remained open to visitors even when the Water Tower has been closed.

The Nathan Frank Bandstand Outside of The Muny
The Nathan Frank Bandstand (or music pagoda) sits outside The Muny Theater in Forest Park. The bandstand was closed in 1911 due to disrepair.. Then, in 1912, a storm damaged the pagoda beyond repair. It was torn down later that year. In 1925, Nathan Frank donated a new bandstand to Forest Park, restoring Pagoda Circle according to Forest Park's master plan. It stands today and has become an iconic attraction in front of The Muny.

Dred & Harriet Scott, Digital ArtSt. Louis' Old Courthouse is linked with the story of the Underground Railroad and listed in the National Park Service's National Underground Railroad Network To Freedom. It was both a public forum where slaves were auctioned from its steps in estate settlements, as well as a courthouse, the site of hundreds of law suits for freedom. One particular lawsuit, the 1847 Dred Scott law suit, gained particular notoriety as it hastened the start of the country's Civil War. Scott and his wife Harriet were initially granted freedom but, after appeals, the Supreme Court decided that slaves were property, and as such, had no right to sue.
