St. Louis, MO
Constructed between 1880 and 1920, the Louis Lange Publishing Company building holds extreme historical significance in St. Louis. A beautiful example of early 1900’s industrial architecture, in this building, primarly german family magizines and Lutheran publications were printed until Louis Lange founded the Concordia Publishing House, which still exists just across the street. Having been long abandoned and partially collapsed, Blackline purchased the property in 2016 and undertook this extensive and complex reconstruction and adaptive re-use. Shortly thereafter, a 12-unit new construction building was built on the property as well, creating a complex that celebrates history while at the same time embraces modernity. Today, these buildings are vibrant and attractive homes and have spurred numerous other developments in the surrounding neighborhood.
