The Saint Louis University Museum of Art is the formal art museum for Saint Louis University. It is located at 3663 Lindell Boulevard in St. Louis, Missouri and is also known as O'Donnell Hall.

The building

Constructed in 1899, the four story Beaux Arts building served as the home of the St. Louis Club. The principal architect of the building is Arthur Dillon of the New York firm Friedlander who included a bowling alley and swimming pool in the basement.

After a fire in 1925, the F. W. Woolworth Company bought the building and converted it into offices which served as the regional headquarters for the company.[1] Saint Louis University purchased the building in 1992 and used it for classrooms until it converted the structure to a museum in 1998. It is a designated historic landmark.[2]
