Multiple studio spaces to fit all your photography & small event space needs - all under one, historic, roof.
20th Street Studios is located within a 100 year old firehouse once known as Engine House No. 32. What was originally built to house a horse-drawn firetruck and bunks for round-the-clock firemen has now become St. Louis' go-to small event venue and photographer studio destination.
The moment Emily laid eyes on the listing for this building, her dream began to form. Her vision for a beautiful studio for photographers and small businesses of all types has come to life in this 2-story building boasting a ground floor, all-white studio space, a beautiful natural-light lifestyle studio, and a bedroom studio. It is the ultimate gathering space for photographers and entrepreneurs to bring their own visions to life.
