City Directories

The St. Louis City Directories contain both residential and commercial listings. The directories in Gateway Arch National Park's holdings roughly cover the years 1821 to 1937. Residential entries often list an individual's occupation along with an address. Some St. Louis area businesses are also represented in special display ads throughout the directories. The books are primarily used for genealogy work and for locating addresses and names of old St. Louis business firms. For additional information, email the GANP Archivist.
