The Vesper-Buick Auto Company Building, at 3900-3912 W. Pine in St. Louis, Missouri, was built in 1927. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. [1]

It was designed by architect Preston J. Bradshaw. The building had two floors and it was deemed notable as "one of St. Louis' best commercial examples of Spanish Colonial Revival, a style infrequently found in the city. The building features a stucco exterior, tile parapet, decorative metal grillwork and a lavish display of terra cotta ornament." [2]

The building’s period of significance was during 1925-1949. The building was demolished in 1995 despite being included in the National Register of Historic Places. [3]
