Ronald McDonald House
Creve Coeur, MO
Owner: Ronald McDonald House Charities
Architect: Gray Design Group
24,980 SF Ronald McDonald House on the West County campus of Mercy Hospital. A home away from home, this four-story brick structure is Midwestern in feel from top to bottom, featuring a brick and clapboard façade with a sloped shake shingled roof. Stone accents and metal standing seam roof details flank an inviting arched front entrance porch.
The 20-family facility, residentially scaled to the property, is nestled amongst a grove of mature trees on the quiet end of the hospital grounds. Surrounded by tall trees and lush landscaping, an outdoor family BBQ and children’s playground area are under the watchful eye of a larger-than-life Ronald McDonald sitting happily atop a wooden bench. As the 300th RMH in the world, this facility marked a tremendous milestone for the organization.
