Seminex is the widely used abbreviation for Concordia Seminary in Exile (later Christ Seminary-Seminex), which existed from 1974 to 1987 after a schism in the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS). The seminary in exile was formed due to the ongoing Fundamentalist–Modernist Controversy that was dividing Protestant churches in the United States. At issue were foundational disagreements on the authority of Scripture and the role of Christianity. During the 1960s, many clergy and members of the LCMS grew concerned about the direction of education at their flagship seminary, Concordia Seminary, in St. Louis, Missouri. Professors at Concordia Seminary had, in the 1950s and 1960s, begun to utilize the historical-critical method to analyze the Bible rather than the traditional historical-grammatical method that considered scripture to be the inerrant Word of God. After attempts at compromise failed, the LCMS president, Jacob Preus, moved to suspend the seminary president John Tietjen, leading to a walkout of most faculty and students, and the formation of Seminex. Seminex existed as an institution until its last graduating class of 1983 and was formally dissolved and merged with Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in 1987. Concordia Seminary quickly rebuilt and by the late 1970s had regained its place as one of the largest Lutheran seminaries in the United States. The after effects of the controversy were vast. Before the split, the LCMS had both modernist and Evangelical wings. After Seminex, 200 modernist congregations split from the LCMS to form the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (AELC), leaving the LCMS a more conservative body than it had been in 1969. The AELC itself would later merge with other modernist Lutheran churches to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

The Sheldon, designed by the noted 1904 World’s Fair architect Louis C. Spiering, was built in 1912 as the home of the Ethical Society of St. Louis. Musicians and public speakers throughout the years have enjoyed the perfect acoustics of The Sheldon Concert Hall, earning The Sheldon its reputation as "The Carnegie Hall of St. Louis." Well-known singers and ensembles have performed at The Sheldon, and speakers such as Margaret Mead, Thurgood Marshall and Martha Gellhorn have spoken from its stage. The St. Louis Chapter of the League of Women Voters was founded in The Sheldon’s Green Room. When the Ethical Society relocated to St. Louis County in 1964, The Sheldon primarily became a music venue. Then, in 1974, a former singer with the Duke Ellington Orchestra purchased the facility, transforming The Sheldon into a church and the site for many glorious jazz and gospel concerts. A California attorney with a love for chamber music purchased the building in 1984 at the urging of the Paganini String Quartet. He began operating The Sheldon in 1986 as a venue for concerts and community events. At risk of being demolished in the mid-80s to make way for a parking lot, a group of community leaders and Ethical Society members launched the “Save Our Sheldon” campaign, which culminated in a movie production entitled Sweet Sheldon, and starring Burt Lancaster. Public sentiment, and the recognition of The Sheldon as a cultural landmark, turned the tide and the building was saved. Determined to preserve and establish The Sheldon as one of St. Louis’ greatest cultural resources, the non-profit Sheldon Arts Foundation was formed in 1989 by Walter F. Gunn. The Foundation purchased the building in 1991, and today The Sheldon Arts Foundation is governed by a 50-member Board of Directors. The Sheldon Concert Hall is the site of over 350 events each year, including great jazz, folk and classical music, featuring the world’s finest musicians. Artists such as Dave Brubeck, Diana Krall, José Carreras, Herbie Hancock, Doc Watson, Joan Baez, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, B.B. King, Wynton Marsalis, Judy Collins, Renée Fleming and many more have performed at The Sheldon. In addition, The Sheldon presents Matinee Concerts, educational programs for schools and Coffee Concerts. The "Notes From Home" series, featuring St. Louis musicians, is presented weekday evenings. The Sheldon Ballroom, Spiering Room and Art Galleries host workshops and master classes, post-concert receptions, weddings, fundraising events, corporate presentations and community meetings. In 1998, The Sheldon expanded its artistic focus to include five new art galleries in a $5 million dollar expansion project. Improvements included complete wheelchair accessibility, new restrooms, two new lobbies, a sculpture garden, added parking and in 1999, the 500-seat Louis Spiering Room. The art galleries encompass 6,000 square feet and feature exhibits on jazz history, photography, architecture, St. Louis artists and children’s art. The Sheldon's renovations continued in 2001 with the installation of five new stained glass windows designed by acclaimed artist Rodney Winfield. His stunning designs, called "Theme and Variation," are designed to be enjoyed both during the day and at night. The overall project is a tribute to Father Maurice McNamee, S.J. In the heart of St. Louis’ Grand Center arts district, The Sheldon continues to offer the St. Louis area a wealth of cultural resources in the tradition of its visionary founders. A non-profit organization, The Sheldon relies on public support to carry out its mission: to preserve and operate the historic Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries as an independent cultural institution, to produce and present events of both local and national importance, and to provide facilities and services for a wide variety of cultural, educational, artistic and community organizations. In 2019, Steward Family Plaza, encompassing a walk way and vertical garden on the west side of The Sheldon, opens. The Sheldon presents over 350 events each year in the concert hall, art galleries, Ballroom and Konneker Room. The Sheldon is located in the Grand Center arts district of St. Louis.

The Pendennis Club Apartment Building, also known as Kina Apartments, Tabb Apartments, and St. John Neumann House, is a historic building located in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Completed in 1902, the three-story brick structure was designed by E.A. Manny. The exterior features simple terra cotta ornamentation that incorporates elements of the Neoclassical style. Each floor includes three apartments and a common room. It was built for the Pendennis Club, a group of bachelors from St. Louis' University Club and named for William Makepeace Thackeray's Major Pendennis, the ultimate bachelor.The nine men who lived here owned stock in the Pendennis Apartment Company. They were expected to stay single for a few years at least, and any replacements would have to be approved by the others. The services of a maid and cook were included, and any other women were allowed on the premises for special occasions only. The club was part of a distinct bachelor subculture that flourished in the United States between 1890 and 1930. Membership in the Pendennis Club remained strong through the 1920s when it started to decline. It disbanded in 1937. The building was sold and continued as an apartment building open to both men and women. It was sold in 1986 to the Redemptorists, a Catholic religious order of men, for their pre-novitiate students who attended Saint Louis University. The neighboring Zebediah F. and Mary H. Wetzell House and its adjoining building were also a part of the complex. The Redemptorists moved out in 2007, and the apartment building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
