Steeplechasing, a seventeenth century pastime in England, was a form of match horse racing. At the time, steeples were the most distinguishable landmarks and were used to indicate the beginning and end of a steeplechase race. Over time, steeplechasing became more of a sport, and has since been turned into a track and field event, however the idea of the steeplechase remains present in architectural development, travel, and tourism. Saint Louis, Missouri - home to close to fifty denominations - is not unaccustomed with the design, history and use of a steeple. In Saint Louis, steeples were, and continue to be staple church design elements, signifying geographic location and structural magnificence. From 1870-1900, ten churches throughout Saint Louis were built, or rebuilt, as parish homes; each building adorned with a towering steeple, gracing the Saint Louis skyline. This book compiles architectural and historical analyses of ten churches, which outlines the use of the steeple asa prominent design element and introduces an all but lost form of entertainment - a modern day steeplechase in Saint Louis, Missouri.
