SLMMS Offers Antiques and Furniture For Purchase
In August 2019, the SLMMS office will relocate to new space at 1023 Executive Parkway in Creve Coeur. To reduce expenses, SLMMS will trim our leased space by approximately 55% to just under 2000 square feet. As a result, we will no longer have available space for several of the antique pieces of furniture that moved with us when the Society relocated from the old headquarters building on Lindell Boulevard in 2005.
In May, the SLMMS Council voted to offer these pieces for sale to our members and the medical community. The pieces have been appraised and the Medical Society will offer them for sale through a sealed bid process. If you are a collector or lover of antiques, or simply would like to own a piece of our organization’s history, we invite you to visit the office to view the items available for purchase.
The following items will be available: (Click on image to enlarge)
