View of the St. Louis Central Business District, one mile to the east, from a Pruitt-Igoe roof. The Gateway Arch is partially obscured by the Mercantile Center, a forty-story office building under construction at that time. The Pruitt-Igoe building in the foreground shows the results of a demolition experiment of April, 1972. The Pruitt-Igoe buildings were a public housing project, completed in 1956, in St. Louis, Missouri. (September 1975) [Photographer E. A. Tomey. Scan of image PHO 54.8.20a
