Groves, the building was originally a factory for the Brown Shoe Company, based in St. Louis.{{sfn|Fox|1995|p=54}}[4] In 1954, the factory was subsequently converted into a warehouse by the International Hat Company.{{sfn|Fox|1995|p=54}} The site has been recognized as a testament to Grove's architectural expertise in the principles of factory design, namely technical advances in layout planning, operational efficiency, and employee safety.[1] Additionally, the factory epitomizes the early 20th century cultural transformation and socio-industrial development of St. Louis into a manufacturing powerhouse. In particular, the Brown Shoe Company is recognized as a principal player in challenging the 19th century dominance of the New England shoe industry.[5] This significantly contributed to the early 20th century sobriquet of St. Louis as the city of "shoes, booze, and blues."{{sfn|Gratz and Mintz|2000|p=318}} The Brown Shoe Company's Homes-Take factory is considered to be among the pioneering industrial facilities of this historic transformation.[1] History{{Main|Brown Shoe Company|International Hat Company}}The Homes-Take factory was designed and constructed in 1904 by the noted St. Louis architect Albert B. Groves (1866-1925). The Brown Shoe Company paid $66,000 for the construction project, which with inflation would cost over $1,700,000 in 2015.[1] Groves designed and built eighteen churches in St. Louis, as well as a myriad of commercial, residential, and industrial buildings.[1] In particular, Groves developed eleven factories for the Brown Shoe Company.[1] The Homes-Take factory began production with a medium-priced line of women's dress shoes.{{sfn|Fox|1995|p=54}} During the Great Depression, the factory was permanently mothballed.{{sfn|Fox|1995|p=54}} In 1954, the property was bought by the International Hat Company, which converted the factory into a warehouse.{{sfn|Fox|1995|p=54}} The Mexican Hat factory purchased a separate part of the building and converted the section into office space.[1] The International Hat warehouse operated until 1976.{{sfn|Fox|1995|p=54}} That same year, the entire building was sold to the Junior Achievement of the Mississippi Valley.[1] In 1978, the building was bought by Allen Market Lane Apartments.{{sfn|Fox|1995|p=54}} According to historian M. M. Constanin, the area at the time appeared as a sort of "Brechtian gloom," insofar as the abandoned building and street created a sense of alienation and detachment from the once vibrant and purposeful area.{{sfn|Constanin|1978|p=69}} On October 20, 1980, the building was formally added to the National Register of Historic Places after being petitioned by Allen Market Lane Apartments.[2][6] Since 1980, the property has operated as a senior and disabled living center, with 100 units.{{sfn|Fox|1995|p=54}} The apartment complex was thoroughly renovated in 2005. Architecture{{See also|Albert B. Groves}}The Homes-Take factory was originally designed to be a four-story, rectangular red brick building, measuring sixty by three hundred feet.[1] The building occupies approximately one half of a city block.[1] A dominant feature of the architectural design is the closely spaced windows, ten feet by three-and-a-half feet.[1] As part of the restoration of the building, Allen Market Lane Apartments installed historically-correct, single hung Quaker windows.[6] In 2005, the windows were custom designed to preserve the original aesthetic quality and structural integrity of the original 1904 glass work.[1] Preserving the windows was a necessary element of the process of obtaining and maintaining government approval of the building onto the National Register of Historic Places.
