Firmin Desloge Tower

Firmin Desloge Tower (built as Firmin Desloge Hospital) is a building in St. Louis, Missouri. It was built from 1930 to 1933 on Grand Avenue between Vista Avenue and Rutger Avenue as a hospital operated by the Jesuits of Saint Louis University and the Sisters of Saint Mary for the poor and others in need. It was funded by a donation from lead-mining millionaire Firmin V. Desloge. Administration of the hospital passed to Saint Louis University in the 1950s, and it served as the main building of Saint Louis University Hospital—today, St. Louis University Medical Center—until a new hospital was built and opened in 2020.
