IN MEMORIAM
We dedicate this issue to two cherished personalities who helped make Chesterfield what it is today Louis Sachs:Community Builder The points of engagement that define Chesterfield as a community are woven in a tapestry of businesses, homes, cultural amenities, restaurants, shops and green space. It is the vision of one man – Louis Sachs, who passed away in 2011. Sachs was the “Father of Modern Chesterfield,” creating a distinctive community in his 1,500-acre Chesterfield Village. Never hurried or rushed, Sachs diligently advanced a creation that today enriches lives on many different levels. “Before people were talking about ‘new urbanism’ or sustainability, he was pioneering a new way of living by building connection points for businesses and residents through civic, cultural, retail and green space,” said Stephen Sachs, copresident of Sachs Properties. “We are committed to advancing that legacy and finishing what dad started.” In 1967, Sachs began acquiring land in then rural Chesterfield to create a master plan for Chesterfield Village – one of oldest on record in St. Louis. It fostered “community” in subtle ways. Sachs named buildings and streets after local historic figures. He insisted on achieving just the right look, paying to bury electrical lines, purchasing and maintaining elaborate landscaping and building interior connector roads and three I64 interchanges to connect to Chesterfield Village
Joan Schmelig: Community Leader Joan “Joanie” Schmelig presided as President of the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce for nearly 30 years. She was motivated, enthusiastic and determined. All of these characteristics are remembered and admired by residents of Chesterfield as well as other community leaders, Chamber staff, friends and family. Since 1983, when Mrs. Schmelig accepted the position of Executive Director of the Chamber, it was her mission to develop this small community organization into the formidable source of business support and economic development that it has become. During the flood of 1993, Joanie was instrumental in keeping the businesses and resi-
Remarkably, Sachs used none of today’s common development tools – no eminent domain, no tax abatement and no tax increment financing. Today, Chesterfield is the business and cultural hub of West St. Louis County. Chesterfield Village alone hosts more than 200 businesses. Sachs’ boundless generosity and enduring dedication to the arts helped the city of Chesterfield earn the “Creative Community Award” in 2011 from the Missouri Arts Council. Indeed, Sachs invigorated his vision with a devotion to philanthropy and the arts. Quietly, he was a prime force in creating Chesterfield Arts in 1993. In 2009, he brought J Seward Johnson’s iconic “The Awakening” to Chesterfield. He donated office and retail space to STAGES St. Louis which opened a performing arts academy that instructs more than 1,000 youngsters, including those with special needs, in music and dance. Other beneficiaries: the St. Louis County Public Library – Samuel C. Sachs Branch, named for his father; the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House; Junior Chamber International; and the Seventh Day Adventist Church, YMCA, JCC and Faust Park. Today, his vision of Chesterfield Village continues with the creation of the 200-plus-acre Downtown Chesterfield – an initiative that will ultimately connect all of Chesterfield.
dents informed as to the status of the flood and thereby avoiding the full impact of the flood by organizing a communications network that in essence is still in effect today. She brought together developers and residents after the fact to work together to prove to naysayers that “Chesterfield’s best days still lie ahead!” In order to raise funds to build four ball diamonds near Highway 40; Joanie held raffles, fish fries and carnivals. Today this is the site of the Chesterfield Athletic Association. Growing the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce was a labor of love. She founded and organized events such as Eggs and Issues Educational Seminars, Business After Hours, First Thursday Coffees, Leadership Chesterfield, Junior
Leadership Chesterfield, Business EXPO and Showcase, Job Fairs, Real Estate Forum and free Concerts in Faust Parkto name a few. When retail was beginning to boom in Chesterfield Valley, she worked tirelessly to bring needed workers to the area by arranging connector busses throughout the municipality. In 1983 and again in 2010, Joanie received the Chesterfield Citizen of the Year Award and in 2009 was awarded the prestigious Excellence in Community Development Award from Progress 64 West. At that time, it was stated that “Joanie was an inspiration to all that had been involved in the evolution of the City of Chesterfield. She was chief cheerleader, facilitator and a mover and shaker; and a great friend and neighbor to all.”

CHESTERFIELD
Businesses are pleased to enjoy an abundance of class-A office space
A
masterpiece by definition is “a great work of art or craftsmanship; the greatest work made or done by a person or group of people”. This definition aptly describes the city of Chesterfield. Named a “Top 10 Town” in 2011 by Missouri Life Magazine, people are taking notice that there’s something special about this place and it’s no surprise why more than 47,000 people call Chesterfield their home. The masterpiece of Chesterfield is much more than the city’s prime location, beautiful subdivisions, plethora of shopping and restaurants, fantastic recreational facilities and world class attractions. It’s a community that benefits from the incredible foresight, imagination, commitment and cooperation of the people who live and work here. The city blends a family-friendly environment with a robust economy and a diversity of commercial growth and cultural experiences. Chesterfield is a relatively new city, yet rich with community history. The city was incorporated in 1988 and since that time, the continuous improvement in implementing the shared vision among residents, civic and business leaders to create an outstanding community in which to live, work and play has been exemplary. Chesterfield is located along I-64 only 25 minutes west of downtown. Replete
with gleaming mid-level office buildings and shopping centers in addition to numerous tree-lined neighborhoods and rustic horse farms, the eclectic blend is in perfect harmony upon this 32-square mile canvas of rolling hills and lush green valleys. The city offers the tools required to build successful lives: attractive homes, excellent facilities for the community's valued senior citizens, accredited schools, places to worship, premier shopping centers, historic and cultural attractions, health clubs, parks and attractive Class-A office space - all neatly tucked into some of the finest real estate in the state. Evidence that Chesterfield is thriving can be seen along the I-64 corridor in what is known as Chesterfield Valley. There you will find one of the longest retail power centers in the nation as well as numerous fast food establishments, specialty coffee and ice cream stores. There’s also fine dining and the only Bentley/Lamborghini/Maserati dealer in the Midwest. Thanks to meticulous city planning, everything in Chesterfield has a place and everything exists in balance. A world-class corporate airport operates side-by-side with a pick-your-own pumpkin farm. Charming shopping centers with specialty shops and stateof-the-art grocery stores operate near established neighborhoods. Beautiful rustic horse farms grace a winding,

country road just minutes away from a prestigious shopping center. In addition to being a great place to live, Chesterfield offers a prime location to conduct business. The city has more than 2,000 businesses, which employ more than 72,000 individuals. Chesterfield truly is a place where history, tradition, progress and family values have joined together as one to become a destination worth visiting. A thriving executive community operates out of Chesterfield Village, a 1,500-acre mixed-use, master planned development located in the city’s urban core, while hundreds of light industrial and manufacturing firms situate themselves in the acreage of Chesterfield Valley. There are major corporations, modern medical centers, research facilities, major manufacturing companies and high-end retail stores that co-exist nicely with small family businesses and boutiques. The vision of the City’s future is continuously moving forward. Sachs Properties, the developer of Chesterfield Village, is building the new Downtown Chesterfield. Located at Chesterfield Parkway West and I-64, this commercial/residential development is adjacent to the 40-acre Central Park and Chesterfield Amphitheater, Chesterfield Mall, the Samuel C. Sachs Library Branch, the West County Family YMCA, and future restaurants and businesses. There will be walking trails throughout the development so tenants can easily walk to facilities nearby, and the trail will be connected through a unique park system and down to the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee Trail. There is a kind of timeless innocence that comes with living in Chesterfield. A businessman stops by the authentic Smoke House Market for
a sandwich and a root beer. A mother and father watch as their children spin gleefully on a 1929 carousel at Faust County Park. This is the magic of our community. Known for its outstanding arts programs and public art collection, Chesterfield was named a 2011 Creative Community by the Missouri Arts Council. One example for this designation is the sculpture park within Downtown Chesterfield which is home to the monumental piece of art, “The Awakening,” by J. Seward Johnson. Five separate pieces make up the cast aluminum sculpture which depicts a giant emerging from the ground. “The Awakening” is 70 feet in length and over 17 feet high, weighing 4,700 pounds. Something unique to this particular piece of art is that children and adults alike are encouraged to sit on it, jump on it, hide in it and climb on it. Chesterfield truly is a masterpiece in progress. One doesn’t need to look hard to enjoy the abundant beauty, imagination and creativity that is alive in every corner of this masterpiece called Chesterfield.

shop, saloon, ice house, weigh station and rooms for travelers in the upstairs area. The building stands today on the northeast corner of Olive and Hog Hollow, across from The Art Gallery of Hog Hollow. The town of Gumbo was located near the current intersection of Chesterfield Airport Road and Long Road. This area is generally referred to as “The Valley” by Conway House locals and longtime residents. The name “Gumbo” is derived mainly from the soil, which although very rich and silty, when wet becomes a sticky, almost clay-like material. A substance very similar to gravel was made from Gumbo mud and used for streets and sidewalks in Forest Park during the 1904 World's Fair. Gumbo's post office operated from 1882-1907. Monarch (earlier called Atherton, then Eatherton) was one of the settlements to spring up along the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail Line, when it came through the valley in the late 1800s. William Sutton's General Store stood on the northwest corner of Eatherton and Centaur Roads. The post office operated there from 1895 to 1907, when the mail was transferred to Chesterfield. Bonhomme had a colorful life. (The name is French for "good man".) This small community, at the extreme western end of Olive Street Road, was close to the Howell's Ferry Landing. It boasted of a blacksmith shop, grist mill, store, post office and Fenn's saw mill; but all of it was washed away in the late 1800s by the Missouri River. Bonhomme was a popular name in St.
Louis County; with Bonhomme streets, roads, creeks, churches and townships still so-named. However, this Bonhomme is the only one that ever had its own post office, operating from 1851-1895. Justus Post’s Chesterfield, as a named community, dates to 1818. Colonel Justus Post arrived in the St. Louis area, along with wife, Eliza and
two small children on November 6, 1815. It is said he came here possessing an estate of $12,000, mostly cash, and an IOU from the government in the amount of $1,000 for services rendered during the War of 1812. St. Louis City proved to be good for social advancement but was not to Posts’ liking. Within one year he again moved his family, this time to a 170-acre farm alongside the Missouri River in an area that would eventually be known as Chesterfield Valley. He paid $14 per acre for this farm that included houses, barns, stables, a ferry and good cleared fields. The Longs, Lawrence and William, arrived in 1797, settling on Spanish land grants. In 1816, William and Polly Long sold Post 400 acres, including their house. Justus Post would eventually acquire 21,204 acres, some
for as little as $1.25 per acre. According to records, Post bought land by the mile. Post laid out the original community of Chesterfield, straddling Wild Horse Creek Road, between Baxter and Wilson. Wild Horse Creek Road was named Main Street, with North and South streets on either side. The cross streets were named Mulberry, Locust, Walnut, Prune, Vine, Chestnut and Oak. However, the town plat was not recorded until 1838. Post served one term as a Missouri State Senator and remained in the area for nearly 30 years before relocating to southern Illinois. In 1877 (after the railroad came through the valley), Christian Burkhardt acquired 21 acres where Olive Street Road crossed the railroad. There he laid out Burkhardt's Subdivision, around Drew Depot. The original community of Chesterfield, founded by Post, gradually relocated to be along the railroad at Drew Station. Christian died in 1898, but his son Edward and Edward's wife Lena continued this era of Chesterfield's evolvement. Edward laid out Burkhardt Place, on the south side of Olive Street Road. He built a row of twelve quaint brick/tile bungalows in the 1918 to 1925 period. Edward also opened a mercantile store bearing his name and was president of the Farmer's State Bank of Chesterfield from 1914 until 1923. The Farmer’s Bank Building, (circa 1914), with its unique Mesker pressedmetal facade, is the oldest commercial structure in Chesterfield and the only surviving rural bank building in St. Louis County. It was acquired by architects Lauren Strutman and Dick Busch in 1999 and restored to its original glory. In mid 2000, it became Chesterfield's fourth property to be 15

HISTORY listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Chesterfield Historical Commission has recognized this Chesterfield location as a historic district, with appropriate markers. The Farmer's State Bank building, which also housed the post office and telephone switch board, at the intersection of Chesterfield Airport Road and Baxter Road, along with the row of bungalows, and the nearby 1920s Slaughter House (now the Don Wiegand Studio), constitute what we can best see, touch and identify with as our city's heritage. As previously mentioned, the community of Orrville had much influence on Chesterfield. Just south of Wild Horse Creek Road, along Eatherton Road (in what is now Wildwood), one can see a half-dozen of Orrville's original structures. John and James Orr came from Scotland. John's son, Robert, would become one of Orrville's leading citizens. He owned most of the land in town, was justice of the peace for six years and, along with his wife Laura, donated the land on which the present Antioch Baptist Church was built in 1860 (at 18319 Wild Horse Creek Road). The Hoppenberg-Fick General Store and Post Office, circa 1867, still stands. Robert Orr was the first postmaster (1858-1871). William Parks Bacon reportedly had the finest house in Orrville - it is still there. Chesterfield's African American community (Westland Acres on Church Road), had its beginnings with the first Antioch Baptist Church, founded in 1841. At that time, white and black worshiped together. When the new Antioch Baptist Church was built in 1860, the African American community took over the original structure and re-named it Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. Reportedly, African Americans worshiped at Mt. Pleasant until the 1920s, then gradually migrated to their present location on Church Road and built the Union Baptist Church in 1922. Two events brought Centaur into being: the railroad and Anton Leiweke. In 1891, Leiweke, a deserter from the German Army, organized the Centaur 16
Historic Thornhill House
One of the four structures in Chesterfield that is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is Governor Bates' Thornhill House. Lime Company and founded Centaur Station. The company employed about 100 people from 1891 to 1928, until it went bankrupt. Centaur Station was settled mostly by Germans. They established their own church (St. Anthony's Parish), first meeting on the third floor of Leiweke's lumber barn and later, sharing a one-room frame school house. This little congregation would later be the start of the Ascension Parish, now on Santa Maria Drive in Chesterfield. They built Ascension's first church in 1923-24; this structure is now named Godfrey Chapel. Howell Island lay just across the Missouri River channel from Centaur. In 1900, Anton Leiweke purchased the island, cleared it and began farming. He brought farmers and their supplies to and from the island by barge and a small vessel named "Honeybell". One of the four structures in Chesterfield that is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is Governor Bates' Thornhill. This building dates to the 1815-1817 period. The Governor Bates site was part of the first 98 acres donated by Leicester and Mary Faust to the St.Louis County Parks system in 1968. This was the beginning of Faust Park. Thornhill is the oldest standing Governor's residence in Missouri. Bates was Missouri's second Governor; serving while the State Capitol was still located in St. Charles. Bates died in
office of pleurisy at age 48, after serving less than nine months as Governor. He is buried at Thornhill Estate. Visitors to Faust Park may visit the historical site. Among Chesterfield's architectural treasures are 20 homes over 100 years old. These "Century Houses" were recognized and their current owners presented with appropriate framed certificates at ceremonies held at Faust Park's Thornhill. Chesterfield further preserves its heritage in the form of the Faust Park Historic Village, and the 1997 acquisition of the remaining 102 acres of the original Leicester Faust Estate. Chesterfield, beyond being one of St. Louis County's most successful and fastest growing communities, also has a colorful past; a past we can all explore and appreciate - by taking a few minutes to get off the beaten path.

hesterfield’s convenient location is supported with an extensive transportation infrastructure. While the 32-square miles of the city is cradled in a rolling green landscape of open valleys and landscaped developments, it is only 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis. Interstate 64 East gives quick access to I-270 (the loop around St. Louis), which then provides connections to I-44, I-55 and I-70. Drivers can continue straight on I-64 East to reach other West County suburbs and also Clayton, the County seat of St. Louis County, or continue straight into the city of St. Louis. I-64 West provides access to St. Charles County, just across the Missouri River. There are seven interchanges off of Interstate 64 that provide quick access to major local streets such as Woods Mill Road (Highway 141) Chesterfield Parkway, Baxter Road, Clarkson/Olive and Long Road. Chesterfield Parkway is the loop around the central business and shopping district, including Chesterfield Mall. Chesterfield Airport Road parallels I-64 in the western part of Chesterfield and is the access road for hundreds of businesses in “The Valley.” Wild Horse Creek Road extends to the western boundary of the city and winds through rolling hills dotted with stately homes. For out of town guests, there are a host of local taxis that provide prompt and courteous service, while many hotels offer shuttle service to Lambert Airport. Metro provides local and city-wide bus service, which connects to the MetroLink light rail system. Visit metrostlouis.org for more details.

Industrial rail service is provided by the Central Midland Railway and serves industrial and light manufacturing firms in the Chesterfield Valley. If you want to take a slower mode, Chesterfield partnered with Great Rivers Greenway and the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee District to create a trail system atop the levee in the Valley. No matter how you get around, Chesterfield is a great place to live, work and play!

ECONOMY
A
t the heart of A local ribbon cutting Chesterfield’s growth is a robust economy bolstered by over 2,000 businesses and more than 72,000 employees working within the community, and annual consumer spending of over $2.7 billion. This progressive city is proud to be the home of major corporations, high-tech research centers, modern medical centers and major manufacturing firms. Chesterfield also boasts a healthy base of family businesses and is a retail shopping destination in the St. Louis region. Since its beginning in 1988, Chesterfield has grown from a small, rural farm area to one of the most successful, business-friendly communities in the St. Louis area. Meticulous community planning, an ideal location, abundant land, excellent hotel and
conference facilities, prime residential development and a well-educated work force (25 percent of whom have obtained graduate degrees or higher) have created a firm foundation for continued economic growth into the future. Located along the I-64 technology corridor, Chesterfield is home to numerous offices and hightech firms. New facilities constructed in only the past few years are quick to be occupied, leading to an average vacancy rate consistently in the low teens. Recently Chesterfield has become home to several medical facilities, including the Washington University/Barnes-Jewish Orthopedic Center, St. John’s Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital and Chesterfield Medical Center. Home to top-rated St. Luke’s Hospital, the community is becoming a destination for medical professionals and their patients. 31

Mercy Health has announced plans to construct a new corporate campus to include a virtual care center, outpatient hospital and their headquarters in the heart of Chesterfield. Developers are currently competing to be the first to construct an upscale outlet mall, that will include over 200 stores and bring in thousands of new jobs. American Girl is a new addition to the Chesterfield Mall, their first Missouri location. Due to its central location in the region and impressive demographics, Chesterfield is highly sought after by retailers, corporate decision makers and health care providers. CHESTERFIELD VILLAGE Physically at the core of Chesterfield’s thriving economy is Chesterfield Village – the first and largest master-planned community in metro St. Louis. Developer Louis Sachs, chairman of Sachs Properties, initiated Chesterfield Village in 1967. It transformed the far western reaches of St. Louis County into an affluent, vibrant mixed-use community that encompasses 1,500 acres. With an expected completion date of 2020, Chesterfield Village has a projected cumulative capital investment value in excess of $5 billion. To date, more than $2 billion has been invested in its creation, including road improvements and, most notably, the three-mile-long Chesterfield Parkway loop. Chesterfield Village also has 2,600 residences in eight major developments that provide a variety of lifestyle choices – from estate homes to condominiums to apartments. Its exquisite landscaping and approximately 500 acres of green space define the community.

ECONOMY Chesterfield Village and its impressive Class A office space are ideally suited for the city’s increasing base of “homegrown” companies, including engineers, architects, lawyers, financial planners, insurance agents, healthcare professionals and independent entrepreneurs. Chesterfield Village will enhance its status as the civic and cultural center of west St. Louis County with the planned opening of STAGES St. Louis’ new $25 million theater and performing arts complex. Chesterfield Village is already home to the West County Family YMCA and its Chesterfield Community Theatre, the Jewish Community Center, the Samuel C. Sachs Library, Chesterfield City Hall, Chesterfield Central Park, the Chesterfield Amphitheatre and the expanded Family Aquatic Center. The near future will bring the development of a premier planned community called Downtown Chesterfield, which will feature residential, business and shopping space. Sachs Properties, the developer of Chesterfield Village, is also developing Downtown Chesterfield. Located at Chesterfield Parkway West and I-64, this development will be adjacent to the 38-acre Central Park, Chesterfield Mall, the Samuel C. Sachs Branch County Library and the West County Family YMCA. Trails throughout the development will connect through a unique park system and to the levee trail. The first phase of the development will feature two office buildings and four freestanding buildings for retail space and restaurants. Central Park Square I, a five-story office building, is already completed and fully occupied. CHESTERFIELD VALLEY One part of the community experiencing enormous growth and development is Chesterfield Valley.

WORSHIP
ince its very beginning, faith has played an important role in the lives of Chesterfield residents. Early 19th century traveling ministers planted the seeds for Chesterfield's religious community. Today, this community has grown to encompass more than 40 denominations. A host of houses of worship are either within or close to Chesterfield, including a Mormon Temple at Chesterfield's eastern border. In addition to regularly scheduled services, many of these houses of worship offer such life-centered activities as childcare, Sunday school, summer religious study, singles activities, senior citizen functions, women's ministries and sports activities - not to mention a full range of charitable services to the community and world-wide. Many area houses of worship emphasize the importance of the family unit and even organize “Family Nights” at the ballpark or other cultural events. The St. Louis Family Church has a skatepark open every day at different hours providing teens and adults a recreation area and a place to meet new friends. Most denominations have organized teen and senior programs that arrange regular outings. For those who enjoy music, several houses of worship offer a wide variety of music ministries, from a full sanctuary choir to ensembles and groups performing seasonal plays and vocal quartets. "Family Handbells" is a 10-ringer choir group that often plays three octaves of Schulmerich handbells at the Lord of Life Lutheran Church. Faith is central to the lives of many Chesterfield residents. The city's many denominations offer the opportunity to share fellowship and a greater sense of community.

You can step back in time almost 200 years when you tour Thornhill House, the home of Missouri’s second governor. His home, Thornhill House, is the oldest standing governor’s house in the state. The site includes his 1820s home, barn, reconstructed summer kitchen, ice and smoke house, orchard and herb garden, and family cemetery. Architecture of the 1800s is continued in the historic Faust Village, which includes four homes and nine outbuildings built from 1840 to 1888. These homes represent a variety of building and architectural styles, from log to brick. All of these attractions are home to tours and festivals throughout the year. Renovated by the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, the former Faust family mansion is now home to the
west county branch of the renowned Community Music School (CMS) of Webster University. Since 1925, CMS has provided outstanding music education and performance opportunities to students of all ages and abilities. The faculty’s combination of musical and teaching expertise means students receive an exceptional quality of music education at every level. Headquartered on the Webster University campus, CMS has an additional location in University City. The St. Louis Carousel was built in 1921. It was first installed at the Forest Park Highlands, which burned to the ground in 1963, with the carousel being the only thing still standing. Thanks to the St. Louis County Historic Buildings Commission and Faust Cultural Heritage Foundation, the carousel was restored to its original beauty and installed in Faust Park in 1987. These 65 beautifully handcarved deer, horses and chariots now provide rides and delight children and adults alike. The building is also used

Quick ER We barely got to know each other. That’s probably what Nurse Kate will say as you’re leaving. She knows people don’t like waiting too long to be treated for minor injuries. So she helped design MoBap’s ER to start tests and treatment earlier. In fact, the average length of stay for patients who are discharged is only about 3 hours. That way, patients can get the care they need and get on their way. So the next time you have an emergency, remember, Nurse Kate can’t wait to see you. So you won’t wait long to see her.
