The Stupp Center and Garden

The Stupp Center and Memorial Garden, constructed in 1982, was made possible by a bequest from Louise Stupp.  Located in the southeast corner of Tower Grove Park near the intersection of Grand Blvd. and Arsenal St. , the Stupp Center's handsome octagonal room and lounge, adjacent to a well maintained garden and amphitheater, is consistent with the parks historic character.  A fountain, with an eagle sculpture on a red granite pillar, is the focal point of the garden that is encircled by a brick and iron fence.
