City steps in to save historic bank building, problem property from demolition

The city of St. Louis has intervened to save a historic bank building from demolition. Located north of downtown at N. 13th and Cass Avenue, the property was originally constructed in 1927 as the Cass Bank & Trust Co. and later served as a Greyhound terminal. As of August 11, 2026, the site has become a problem property where squatters have taken up residence, prompting city action to preserve the architectural landmark from being destroyed.
