Cementland: A Dream Built in Concrete (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798253758403)

On the north riverfront of St. Louis, just inside the city limits, an abandoned cement factory sat silent for decades - until visionary artist Bob Cassilly arrived with a dream as massive as the silos themselves. This is the story of Cementland: eighty acres of industrial ruin that Cassilly intended to transform into the most extraordinary public art experience in America. It is a story of creative genius, civic ambition, environmental redemption, and ultimate tragedy. From the tunnels beneath the Mississippi riverbank to the towering concrete cylinders that pierced the St. Louis skyline, Cementland was to be Cassilly's masterwork - a place where every visitor could feel fully alive. This book tells that story in full, chapter by chapter, in the artist's own city.
