The St. Nicholas Hotel was an eight-story hotel located at the northwest corner of 8th and Locust Streets in St. Louis, designed by the renowned architect Louis Sullivan in collaboration with Dankmar Adler and completed in 1894. The building's exterior was distinguished by terra-cotta snowflake embellishments, reflecting Sullivan's ornamental sensibility. After closure in 1905, it was converted into an office building renamed the Victoria Building, a transformation that involved removing the original gabled roof and arched entrance and adding four additional floors, along with a restaurant and Turkish bath in the basement. The structure was documented in the Historic American Buildings Survey before its demolition in 1973. It was one of only four buildings designed by Sullivan in St. Louis.
