Washington University Anheuser-Busch School of Law

Situated on the main campus of Washington University in St. Louis, the Anheuser-Busch School of Law is constructed in the traditional Gothic revival style. Since most of the granite for the earliest buildings on campus was probably locally quarried, Leonard Masonry sought to find a near-perfect match with nearby buildings. Working with its supplier, craftsmen went into an Ironton, Mo., to locate the exact part of the quarry from which to pull the granite.

The structure’s impressive granite and limestone exterior features a grand tower at its main entrance, large bay windows with limestone trim, dormers and massive protruding gables (five stories high on the north elevation and three stories on the south elevation). The building also has a courtyard featuring dedication tablets hand-etched into the limestone in honor of significant donors.
