Ambassador Building Exterior Panels are 300 ft of terracotta cornice and frieze sections from the exterior of the, now demolished, Ambassador Building at 411 N 7th Street in St Louis, Missouri. Created for Skouras Brothers Enterprises, the group includes 78 terracotta pier and spandrel assemblies from the third, fourth, and fifth floors and seven 30 ft terracotta arches from two elevations of the Ambassador Theater. In 1996 the National Building Arts Center savaged the exterior panels before the building was razed. - AsNotedIn
