ST. LOUIS – The deadline has come and gone. Now, the City of St. Louis says it will take legal action against the owners of the abandoned Railway Exchange Building in Downtown St. Louis.

Formerly the home of Famous Barr, the old building has seen everything but a makeover recently. Break-ins, squatting, fires and vandalism have plagued the site in recent years.
