History

On the Map Since 1908

The history of 920 South Second Street reaches back at least to 1908, when Sanborn fire-insurance maps recorded a building at the corner of Second Street and Chouteau Avenue used for the storage of patterns: the wooden models from which machine parts and tools were cast. A 1932 map shows the same use and a four-story structure with wooden posts and plastered walls.

By 1944 the Gunther Salt Company was listed at 920–922 South Second Street, and it appears in city directories through 1980; the 1950 map calls the property a salt warehouse. Later occupants included trucking and building-materials businesses, and as recently as 2023 the ground floor housed a custom driveshaft shop with offices above.

The building has worked for more than a century. Its next chapter keeps it working.
