[@sweetthang7568]

Lol! “Yea this... this is pretty sketchy” I’ve been to a church in St. Louis and it reminds me of how Detroit use to be. Detroit is still sketch but St. Louis took the cake on that one for me haha

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you Sweet Thang yes this building gets worse by the day it seems I've been in it a few times Also I plan to add your channel tag on my next upload as a shout out thank you for taking the time to watch

[@sweetthang7568]

Aww thanks!!! I’ll add yours to mine next time I do an urban explore video too! Although I don’t have a ton of followers.... hahah 😅😂☺️

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you Garrett

[@StringerMedia]

That is one of the cooler explores I’ve seen. Beautiful building, sad not too much is left from this once great place

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you Kaizer from what I read online that some years ago renovations were being made to this building but they ran out of funds to keep the project going and just left it abandoned

[@StringerMedia]

I do encourage you to make a part 2! I like this spot

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you Kaizer I will on the next trip

[@InkfinityOkamix3]

I used to see this building on the way to field trips in St Louis (live in Illinois). It’s HUGE!! And I had no idea it was abandoned until a while ago. No clue how it looked on the inside either. So cool!

[@keonsh5036]

Always wanted to go in here to but from seeing this hell nope! That basement shot looked straight out of a horror movie!

[@RogueExploration]

Its really not bad in there actually it's easy to get into if ya go take someone with you

[@RODPIKERDRONESUK]

[@UrbanKiwiana]

Hi mate what an awesome place, to think it was once furnished and housed busy workers, that's why I love what we do we get a small glimpse into what once was, never done anything like this so it's always exciting to me,gotta watch that glass ive had my moments of nails etc lol..Alot of cuts. Have an awesome rest of your weekend

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you Kiwiana yeah man this place has been featured in a few different videos on YT I figured I'd better get a video because its rumored to be demolished next summer what a shame cause it's an awesome building have a great weekend as well

[@UrbanKiwiana]

@@RogueExploration +glad you got to do it mate ive missed out on to many mainly cause I mucked around to much hoping I'd have time..thanks mate its been good just trying to catch up on things

[@RogueExploration]

@@UrbanKiwiana I've missed several as well from procrastination...lol

[@UrbanKiwiana]

@@RogueExploration +Lol yup that's my biggest flaw as a urbexer is procrastinating and thinking I'll have time knowing I more certainly wont.. moneys a huge thing for me getting to more places and a crew that work everyday so it's made me to relaxed and busy with other things, even trying to keep up with everyone is a constant time battle some days I just stay off my phone to get other things done

[@shakacat3180]

Wow that was kinda scary you wouldn't catch me in there, at least the birds have got somewhere to roost 🌼🌹🙋🐈

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you Liz I was just disappointed I didn't make it to the roof but yes this place is fairly dangerous and was getting worse with every floor I climbed those Damn birds were getting on my nerves flying around in there...lol

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you Claire I actually prefer going on these explores alone cause it sucks if you have to carry an injured partner out of a place like this

[@OnlyclaireJones]

Rogue Exploration lol 😂

[@texadonkey34]

Wow, this mysterious. It was probably stunning when it opened. I can’t believe the letters on the front are still there. Keep exploring and be careful 👍👍😻🍀🍀

[@RogueExploration]

Hi Krissy Kat and thank you that building is the Crown jewel of East St Louis Illinois. People have come from all over to see this place im planning a return visit hopefully before the summer is over

Well at least you went in daytime I've had bad things happen to family members in east St. Louis definitely not a safe area very high murder rate and stuff.

[@RogueExploration]

I seem to find all glass and rock in them nails too!! Never threw the bottom only on the side go figure!! There is just nothing good there it's like the bones are even bad!! Run the Blockade!!!

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you Detroit man this building hates me this was the fourth attempt and still didn't make it to the top I've had nothing but mishaps with this place

[@UndergroundLookingUp]

I drove by this neighborhood on accident one day, excellent to see inside the building... Now to find videos on the rest of the block!

[@RogueExploration]

Thank you I've made other videos of the buildings on this block as well

[@WaynesWorldofexploration]

Freaking awesome, I love explores like this brian, I would of gone down into the basement, crazy to do but I love basements and tunnels for some reason, them stairs and floors were definately getting worse the higher you went, great explore 👍

[@RogueExploration]

Thanks Wayne yeah man ive had a few bad experiences going into basements I do plan to return here maybe I'll hit the basement on the next round...peace Wayne and be careful out there

[@RogueExploration]

Lol thanks Ed yeah it was definitely a sketchy view

[@504RoadTrips]

There's an awful lot of columns in that building near the beginning. Seems like it would be difficult to furnish a floor with all that.

[@RogueExploration]

Every floor had many columns on them

[@RogueExploration]

@@504RoadTrips from what I read this was an office building for many years it was gutted and set for renovation and now it's just abandoned

Wow heck yeah iv been wanting to go st.luis myself seen tones of abandoned buildings and houses abandoned down thier kinda a small goldmine for exploreing but yeah very dangerous. But it gets to be that in the exploring world.

[@RogueExploration]

Theres a bunch of places down there and across the river thanks for checking it out

[@olvinyldude]

Just subbed ! This was interesting, and I like anything Historical & or old ! This really caught me, because I worked for several years, for the OLDest company in St. Louis ! ( You probably know them.. Schaeffer Mfg. Co, right down there, on the river.. Old man Nicholas Schaeffer was friends with old man Bush, yep..the brewery.. and had allredy been in business 20 yrs earlier ! 1839..They are still listed as one of first in BBB&Chamber Comm. in St.Louis..They made Black Beauty Axles Grease, for the Wagons & Pioneers, traveling West at the time, and Red River engine oil, for the Steamboats which were running up and down the Rivers! Now, they are all Specialty Products, Racing Oil, Ag. & more...( I am sure they would let you in, and tour, and more..they used to have a little Museum, at the front entrance ! ...That may make an awesome film for you, sometime in Future..They are great bunch of people, and family, in 6th generation now !!! Thanx for sharing this one.. Have fun, good travels, and "Let's Be Careful Out There" ! Oh.,.. And keep playing the music !

[@Theywaswrong]

Pretty typical of our cities. And now with the political climate I wouldnt expect much help if you were to call for it. While we here of the overwhelming need for homeless housing, we allow structures that could have been a part of the solution to be abandoned to crime and vandalism. In Europe, they are still using buildings built hundreds, even more than a thousand years ago. Here, we cant use a building for even a hundred years. Built in 1927, abandoned in the mid 80's because of unsafe areas.

[@waltwynn-sandiegonorthcoun8475]

No railings on the stairs...
