Photos: The Railway Exchange, once home to Famous-Barr and Macy's in downtown St. Louis
The historic Railway Exchange Building in downtown St. ÑÇÖÞÎÞÂë has had many lives. The building was long the flagship Famous-Barr department store — and the headquarters of its parent company May Department Stores. Macy's purchased and rebranded the store in 2006 then closed it in 2013. Since then, the building has been slowly decaying, an eyesore in the middle of downtown St. ÑÇÖÞÎÞÂë.
