Apartments in St. Louis
Parc Frontenac
Parc Frontenac
40 N. Kingshighway Blvd.
Built in 1953, with 215 apartments
Parc Frontenac was finished in 1956. It was designed by Sylvan and Robert Bien, a father and son firm. Sylvan Bien immigrated from Austria in the mid 1910’s and assisted in the Panama Pacific Exposition (at the 1915 San Francisco World’s Fair). He designed the Carlyle and Beverly Hotels in New York City, as well as the Grolier Building and many other notable modernist buildings in New York. His son Robert graduated from Cornell with a degree in architecture and assisted with designing several of the buildings their firm was known for. He went on to be a famous architect in his own right, and was noted for his use of white-glazed brick popular in the 1950’s and 1960’s, as well as creative designs to create space in luxury apartments.

He grew up here in St. Louis, and attended the Washington University School of Architecture. He lived and worked in the St. Louis area his whole life. He designed many notable buildings in St. Louis, such as the Schniethorst Hofamberg Inn and B’rith Sholom Kneseth Israel Synagogue, as well as many private homes. He is famous for his modernist aesthetic and has a collection in the Missouri History Museum archives. The home that he designed for himself and his wife Maxine in 1949 was featured in St. Louis Magazine last year. Here is a link: https://www.stlmag.com/home/galleries/midcentury-marvelous/#prev
