If you haven't been to the Security Building, it's worth a visit. The lobby is really quite incredible. St. Louis Office Space has a little writeup of the rehab from a few years back.

Anyway, let me try one. I don't think this one will be too difficult, but . . .

Yep. It's amazing!

I don't recall that particular sculpture, but that's almost got to be Laumeier. (Lord knows they rotate things through often enough I don't ever see them all.) Reminds me of someone eating a bowl of soup.

Nope. Not Laumeier.

Here's the piece in context:

Here's a view towards the other side of the parking lot:

^ Took a while, but it's at the corner of Sutter Ave. and Bartmer Industrial Dr., just outside the City limits. The blue building seems to be Universal Sewing Supply.

^You got it. I don't know what the story is, but there's a collection of (mostly?) Trova sculptures surrounding their parking lot, and at least one more tucked back behind the buildings.

Here you can see University City's City Hall in the background:

I have two locations in mind for these swastika/windmill things.
1. Those apartments on Heege Road near the train tracks.
2. An apartment building on Morgan Ford.

And the top right swastika/windmill is reversed compared to the others

^Nope (good eye noticing the odd-man-out, though; I hadn't notice that).

^ Damn, this is a good one. I have no idea what it is, but when comparing all three photos it really eliminates any sense of scale. At first I thought they might be window sized, but now with this last picture I'm not sure. Is it a somewhat tall building, or is it just a small part of a brick wall with an odd design on it? Either way, I'm stumped.

I was looking at Bank of America and and both 80s AT&T buildings, so I was pretty close. My other guess was somewhere at the airport.

That looks like the old Schlafly Branch library on West Pine, east of Euclid.

Yep. Got it.
