An addition was built in 1928 that brought the hotel's room count up to 910. For decades, the hotel was host to a who's who list of visitors to St. Louis, including President Harry S. Truman. The 1916 Democratic National Convention also was held at the building.<br /> In 1975, the hotel closed and it reopened as an apartment building called the Jefferson Arms. In need of repairs and updating, the building was sold in 2006 to a developer hoping to put in retail and a theater but this never happened. It was sold again in 2008 and the new developer is converting it to loft-type apartments.Bob Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06259207726948875418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261183627726791341.post-76000306842400740792010-02-05T23:49:43.014-08:002010-02-05T23:49:43.014-08:00What an elegant looking dining room... can you ima...What an elegant looking dining room... can you imagine what it would look like in candlelight!
