The Escalators
The chandelier hanging over the escalators is a rare piece known as the "King of Beers" Chandelier, of which only two exist in the world. Originally acquired by Adolphus Busch in 1904, the magnificent chandelier is adorned with beer hops and eagles, representing the prominent symbols of the Anheuser-Busch empire. Busch, nicknamed "The King of Beers," bestowed the title upon this remarkable fixture.
