The Sheldon Concert Hall was designed by noted 1904 World's Fair architect Louis C Spiering and built in 1912 as the home of the Ethical Society of St. Louis. Musicians and public speakers throughout the years have enjoyed the perfect acoustics of The Sheldon Concert Hall, earning The Sheldon its reputation as "The Carnegie Hall of St. Louis." Well-known singers and ensembles have performed at The sheldon, and speakers such as Alber Einstein, Dwight Eisenhower and Ernest Hemingway have spoken from its stage. The St. Louis Chapter of the League of Women Voters was founded in The Sheldon's Green Room.

In 2001 renovations to The Sheldon were made and included the installation of five new stained-glass windows designed by Rodney Winfield. His designs, called "Them and Variation", are designed to be seen both during the day and at night.
