Centrenyn was a 115 foot tall outdoor sculpture planned for the intersection of Capitol and Main streets in the Metrocentre pedestrian mall. The sculpture took the name of the downtown mall and added the suffix "nyn," which is Greek for "now." Centrenyn was designed by St. Louis sculptors Saunders Schultz and William Severson.
The cost of the proposed sculpture -- with three great steel wings representing the "delicate balance" of the agricultural, industrial, and government sectors of the city -- was expected to be $200,000 to $300,000.
