Built in 1918
From 1918, through 1924, this building housed the Supreme Motor Co., the St. Louis dealer for the Stutz automobile.
The Stutz was manufactured from 1911 to 1935 in Indianapolis, Indiana, initially under the ownership and direction of then famous automotive engineer, Harry C. Stutz. The Stutz, which was well known for its Bearcat and Blackhawk, open speedster models, was also famous for its racing successes. But Stutz also produced sumptuous touring cars, sedans and limousines on wheelbases up to 156 inches long.
In 1915, the Stutz became one of the first automobiles to have a motor with four valves per cylinder.
