Beyond the Ballot: St. Louis and Suffrage
The Missouri History Museum selected Pinnacle Contracting to manage the construction of a new 6,000 SF exhibit in its 1 East gallery space, titled “Beyond the Ballot: St. Louis and Suffrage”. This exhibit highlights the incredible women who made an impact in St. Louis before gaining the right to vote in 1920. The project was broken out into four phases, and the scope included demolition, framing, drywall, painting, and glass/glazing.
Exhibits Department Renovation
Pinnacle has also completed the Exhibits Department Renovation at the Museum. This was a “back of house” renovation for the offices of the Exhibits Department, and the project was completed ahead of schedule. Additionally, previous projects completed for this client include the Panoramas of the City and Historic Route 66 exhibits.
St. Louis Sound
Pinnacle managed the construction of the St. Louis Sound exhibit. The 6,000 SF exhibit is located in the 1 West gallery space, and highlights the musical history of the St. Louis region and the vast amount of talented singers, songwriters, etc. that hail from our city.

Coloring STL
Pinnacle Contracting completed the renovation of the East gallery space into the new 6,000 SF “Coloring STL” exhibit.
“Coloring STL” takes an in-depth look at St. Louis architecture and the people behind the designs.
“We wanted to get people interacting with these buildings,” says Andrew Wanko, a public historian and the content lead for “Coloring STL.” “Architecture is all about creativity and exploration and testing out new ideas. People are going to find the internationally known landmarks, but you’re also going to find local and unique St. Louis housing staples.”
He hopes that old and young generations, as well as lifetime St. Louisans and newcomers, will talk with one another about the buildings and share memories while they color.”
