Notes: Construction ended in 1928 on the 15-story, 168' tall, 300-room Mark Twain Hotel at 116 N. 8th Street, St. Louis, Mo. It fell on hard times during the 1960s, for that part of downtown was falling into decay. It was demolished in 1977 to make room for the Wainwright Annex. At that time, the old Maryland/Baltimore Hotel at 205 N. 9th Street took the name Mark Twain Hotel and was there in 2006 as a single-room occupancy hotel.

A US Patent was issued on March 25, 1930 to inventor George Ellis, assignor to Scammell China.
