A narrow three-story front, one bay wide, sheathed from sidewalk to parapet in polished red-brown granite panels. The only openings above the ground floor are two stacked ribbons of dark metal-framed windows, set flush with the stone and running nearly the full width of the facade, so the building reads as a flat stone box against the carved masonry of its taller neighbors. A clock on verdigris bronze brackets projects from the facade over the sidewalk.
The three-story building at 913 Locust Street was built in 1900 on a lot 23 feet 9 inches wide, the full width of the parcel. It became home to the St. Louis Federal Savings and Loan Association, and after World War II its front was refaced in polished stone panels with a single bay of metal windows, leaving it one of the few downtown buildings with a facade entirely sheathed in mid-century cladding. Roberts Brothers bought the building ca. 2007. UrbanStreet Group acquired it in 2012 with a package of former Roberts properties, and TWG Development of Indianapolis bought it in 2016 as part of its plans for apartments and infill along the 900 block of Locust.
