Lafayette Square is the most significant historical neighborhood in city of St. Louis. Surrounding Lafayette Park-the city's first park- neighborhood's development began earnest in the 1850s. Due to the exuberance and passion of its residents, the neighborhood has remained largely intact, surviving blight, deterioration, and neglect during the mid-twentieth century. Lafayette Square: St. Louis analyzes the importance of the neighborhood through a variety of essays that document its history, architecture, and revitalization. The book's focus is the printing of Architect John Albury Bryan's historical essay on Lafayette Square. Accompanying the essay is a brief biography of Bryan, as well as a bibliography of his writings. Other highlights include a 1969 architectural survey the neighborhood; National Register of Historic Places Nomination, written by Mary M. Stiritz; and an essay on restoration of Lafayette Square.

Lafayette Square's rich history dates back to the founding of the District of Columbia when Pierre L'Enfant planned it as part of the grounds for the president's house. The square was one of the first open spaces within the city to be designed as a public park. Across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, the park's neighborhood became home to presidents, vice presidents, cabinet members, diplomats, inventors, journalists, heroes, authors, scientists, law breakers, and scoundrels. Today, the square and its sculptures are surrounded by government offices, but symbolically, it is the White House's front yard, making it an attractive destination. Using historic photographs, Lafayette Square captures the square's social, political, and architectural history, highlighting important past events.
