“Missouri s Contribution to American Architeéture’ 
 
 CHARGERS! 
 
 claims to importance among the Union of States was compiled and printed in St. Louis by 
 John A. Paxton, being known as “The St. Louis Directory and Register." This small vol- 
 
 Of), HUNDRED AND SEVEN YEARS AGO the first publication setting forth Missouri’s 
 
 ume, now brown with age, is one of the most cherished possessions in the library of the Missouri 
 Historical Society in St. Louis; and while there are no illustrations, the student of State history can 
 take the quaint, terse lines of print and reconstruct fairly accurately what was then the most remote 
 and romantic town in the United States. An interesting fact about the book is that the word 
 “architect’’ appears only once between its covers, and then in connection with Mr. Paxton’s descrip- 
 tion of the Catholic Cathedral on Walnut Street, near Second, which was designed by “Gabriel Paul, 
 Architect.”’ 
 
 Although Gabriel Paul designed the first cathedral in the State, he listed himself in che Directory 
 as an ‘‘Auctioneer and Commission Merchant, 73 N. Main above C’”’. No doubt an auctioneer was 
 more certain of building up a fortune in an outpost of civilization than would have been a man 
 who had no other talents than ability as a draftsman and knowledge of sound construction. Even 
 back in Washington, D. C., the man who was then supervising the construction of the National 
 Capitol, designing and building numerous custom houses and lighthouses, four of the principal 
 national monuments and other Government buildings—the brilliant but unsung Robert Mills— 
 was receiving only fifteen hundred dollars a year for services that kept him traveling from Maine to 
 South Carolina, sometimes by boat, sometimes by stagecoach, and often on horseback. It is possible 
 that Gabriel Paul had known Robert Mills in Baltimore before he came out to St. Louis. Born of 
 French parentage on the Island of San Domingo, Gabriel Rivat Paul and his elder brother, René, 
 had been sent to France for their education, and before their return, the father died. The mother 
 brought her daughters to the States, and settled in Baltimore in 1802. In 1809 René Paul, in com- 
 pany with a young army ofhcer, Bartholomew Berthold who had come to Baltimore from France, 
 set out for St. Louis. The two young men brought a stock of merchandise with them and continued 
 in business together in St. Louis for three years, after which time Bartholomew Berthold formed a 
 partnership with Pierre Chouteau in the fur business, and married Chouteau’s sister. In 1816 Gabriel 
 Paul also came to St. Louis and early in the following year he married Marie Louise, second daughter 
 of Col. Auguste Chouteau; his brother René having married Col. Chouteau’s eldest daughter. With 
 all these facts of early association and kinship by marriage between the Pauls and Bertholds, it is safe 
 to assume that Gabriel Paul was the architect of the Berthold Mansion, a brick house of the Mary- 
 land type, buile in 1829, and illustrated on the pages following this chapter. We know that he 
 served on the first Library Board of St. Louis, appointed by Mayor William Carr Lane in 1824. His 
 death occurred in St. Louis in 1845. 
 
 That firse Cathedral in St. Louis was torn down before the days of photography, but the Paxton 
 Directory relates that it was a brick structure and we know too that it stood on the same consecrated 
 square where the present Old Cathedral is located. It was begun in 1818, ac the instance of Rt. Rev. 
 Bishop Du Bourg, and was one hundred and thirty-five feet in length. Ac the front of the building 
 there was a steeple provided with bells brought over from France. Quoting Mr. Paxton—“‘It is a 
 truly delightful sight for an American of taste to find in one of the remotest towns of the Union a 
 
 church decorated with original paintings. All this is due to the liberality of the Catholics of Europe 
 
who presented these rich articles to Bishop Du Bourg on his last turn through France, Italy and 
 Belgium. Among the liberal benefactors could be mentioned many princes and princesses; but we 
 will insert only the names of Louis X VIII, the present King of France; and that of Baroness Le Can- 
 déle de Ghyseghem, a Flemish lady, to whose munificence the Cathedral is particularly indebted; and 
 who even lately has sent a fine, large and elegant organ, fit to correspond with the rest of the 
 decorations.” 
 
 We may rest assured that the “‘large and elegant organ’’ was not without a player, for a news- 
 paper advertisement which appeared about the time of Paxton’s Directory states: “A.C. Vanhirtum, 
 lately of Amsterdam, Holland, announces that he will give lessons on the piano forte and the clario- 
 net. Reference—Rt. Rev. Bishop Du Bourg.”’ 
 
 The brick Cathedral was used for a little more than ten years when it was replaced by the 
 present stone structure, consecrated in 1834, and of which we shall have more to say later on. 
 
 Before delving further into the architecture of Early St. Louis, let us review briefly the historical 
 background which Missouri brought into the Union. 
 
 The territory embraced within the present boundaries of the State was first brought to the 
 attention of civilization by Hernando de Soto and his followers in 1540, when they penetrated the 
 wilderness as far north as the present County of New Madrid. 
 
 In the summer of 1673 Father Marquette and his companion, Joliet, paddled down the Missis- 
 sippi from their Mission Station near the source of that River; and nine years later Robert La Salle 
 followed the Mississippi down to its mouth, taking possession of the whole region with much for- 
 mality, in the name of his King, Louis XIV of France. 
 
 The first settlement attempted by Europeans within the boundaries of Missouri was at Fort 
 Orleans, near the junction of the Grand and Missouri Rivers, in 1723. The settlement was made 
 under the direction of Sieur de Bourgmont, but was abandoned in 1726 after de Bourgmont had 
 returned to France. The present town of Brunswick is near the site of Fort Orleans. 
 
 About 1735, perhaps a little earlier, the first permanent settlement was made at Sainte Gene- 
 vieve. St. Louis was laid out in the early spring of 1764. Shortly thereafter a few houses were 
 
 built on the “Petite Cotes,’’ the site of St. Charles, but the town did not receive its present name 
 until 1784. 
 
 In 1776 the Village of Florissant was begun; and in 1792 Louis Lorimier established a trading 
 post at Cape Girardeau. The Village of Carondelet received its name in 1792, being so designated 
 in honor of Baron de Carondelet. 
 
 In 1795 Daniel Boone brought his family from Kentucky to Missouri and established his home 
 at Femme Osage, beyond Sc. Charles. After 1800 new settlements sprang up at many places in the 
 eastern part of the State; and in 1826 Joseph Robidoux, a native of St. Louis, laid out a town on the 
 bank of the Missouri River, in the northwestern part of the State, which he named St. Joseph. He 
 named the first streets Felix, Jules and Charles in honor of his sons, and those names survive in the 
 present City of Saint Joseph. 
 
 In 1827 the town of Independence was mapped out, in Jackson County, and soon attracted 
 many settlers because of the beauty of its setting. Washington Irving visited Independence in 1832, 
 and in a letter written to his sister from there, he said in part— ‘‘Yesterday I was out on a deer hunt 
 in the vicinity of this place, which led me through some scenery that wanted only a castle, or a 
 
 ’ , ~ 
 gentleman's seat here and there interspersed, to have equaled some of the most celebrated park scenery 
 of England.” 
 
 [8 ] 
 
However, with all the new towns springing up and claiming to be destined for future suprem- 
 acy, St. Louis continued as the metropolis of the West up to the time of the Civil War, and therefore 
 it is here that we must look for the first evidences of architectural achievement in the State. The 
 total population of Missouri, at the time of Admission to the Union in 1821, was 66,607, and of 
 that number approximately 5,000 lived within the town boundaries of St. Louis. Referring again 
 to Paxton’s Directory, there were then two hundred and thirty-two dwelling houses of brick or 
 stone. And in addition to the brick Catholic Cathedral previously mentioned, St. Louis had a Bap- 
 tist Church built of brick and an Episcopal Church built of wood. 
 
 The occupations of some of the residents at that period will remind the reader that a great 
 change has taken place in our mode of living during these one hundred and seven years past. There 
 were dozens of “‘tallow chandlers” listed in the Directory; many ‘‘wheelwrights,”’ ‘“‘cordwainers,”’ 
 “well-diggers,”’ and “‘victuallers.”” Perhaps the following two lines which are in sequence in the 
 Directory speak more eloquently than any others of the change that has come about in our social life: 
 
 Smith & Wordingham, Livery Stable Keepers, N. 4th above Market. 
 Mrs. Snow, Teacher of Females, 42 N. Main. 
 
 “Thomas Estes, Gentleman, 97 S. Main’’ was in a class by himself, for every other man in 
 town, even the venerable and wealthy Auguste Chouteau, had an occupation. 
 
 “Eliza Smith, Widow, Gentlewoman, 7 N. Main above Market’’ was also above work of 
 any kind. Genealogists have not yet told us whether Mr. Estes later met and married the Widow 
 Smith. 
 
 An idea of the social life of St. Louis at that date is given in the very interesting ‘‘Recollections 
 of John F. Darby,” who was one of our early mayors. Mr. Darby relates that “In 1823 the inhabit- 
 ants of St. Louis were beyond doubt the most happy and contented people that ever lived. They 
 believed in enjoying life. There was a fiddle in every house, and a dance somewhere every night. 
 They were honest, hospitable, confiding, and generous. No man locked his door at night, and the 
 inhabitant slept in security.’ 
 
 After Gabriel Paul, the next architects, of whom we have definite record, were Morton & 
 Laveille. George Morton was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, December 25, 1790, and came to the 
 United States in 1815. He lived for a while at Picesburgh, Pennsylvania, and while there married 
 Miss Margaret Morrison, of Allegheny, Pennsylvania. He came to St. Louis with his family in 
 1823, and shortly thereafter entered into partnership with Joseph C. Laveille, who had preceded him 
 in coming to St. Louis. Laveille was a native of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and was married there. 
 The first work of the firm in St. Louis was the brick Episcopal Church, erected in 1825-26 at the 
 northwest corner of Third and Chestnut. That congregation later built at the S. W. Corner of Fifth 
 and Chestnut, and in 1860 began their building at Thirteenth and Locust, where they are still located. 
 
 In 1826 Morton & Laveille also erected the first buildings at Jefferson Barracks, the then newly 
 created Army Post which took the place of Fort Bellefontaine as the leading military establishment 
 in the West. 
 
 Another historical commission which Morton & Laveille received in 1826 was that for the 
 first pretentious courthouse in St. Louis. Their plans and elevations are still on file, and bear the date 
 of May 26, 1826. The building was completed, according to their design, in 1833, and stood on the 
 courthouse square until about 1854 when it was torn down to make way for the east wing of the 
 present Old Courthouse. The east wing was not completed until 1862, and that accounts for the 
 story that slaves were never sold on the east portico of the Courthouse. 
 
 (fe. 
 
The last important work done by Morton & Laveille, of which we have any record, is the 
 Catholic Cathedral which still stands on Walnut Street, near Second, and which was consecrated in 
 
 October, 1834. 
 
 Joseph Laveille, in addition to his work as an architect, served as Street Commissioner from 
 1823 to 1826. He died here on September 19th, 1842, ac the age of 54 years, leaving five children. 
 
 George Morton died in St. Louis, January 9, 1865, leaving five daughters and one son. Both 
 Mr. Morton and his partner were among the group of public spirited men who spent much time and 
 money in securing an appropriation from the National Government for the improvement of the 
 
 St. Louis Harbor. 
 
 A map of St. Louis made in 1842 shows two parallel streets running south from Chouteau 
 Avenue, bearing the names of Morton and Laveille respectively. 
 
 The church at Perryville has an interesting history. In 1818 Bishop Du Bourg brought from 
 Iraly a small band of Vincentians, under Father Felix de Andreis, to establish a Theological Semi- 
 nary. A plot of ground was donated by a little group of devout Catholics near the present town of 
 Perryville and on that spot the Vincentians began the erection of a building which was intended to 
 be a replica of their mother church in Rome. Buc when they realized the stupendousness of such an 
 undertaking out in the wilderness, they cut down the dimensions of their church—retaining, how- 
 ever, the essential features of the Old World design. The cornerstone was laid in 1827 but the 
 building was not completed until 1837. In 1913 the old elevation was torn down and replaced by a 
 
 ‘“modern’”’ front. 
 
 Another important building completed in 1837 was the St. Louis Theatre, opened to the public 
 on July 3rd. It stood on the southeast corner of Third and Olive Streets, and was designed by Lewis 
 M. Clark; the construction being superintended by Alexander Crowl. The building seated fourteen 
 hundred people and cost seventy thousand dollars,—the largest amount spent for one building, up to 
 that time, in the State. On the north side of the building there was a private entrance leading to the 
 first tier of boxes and to rooms for the servants who accompanied their masters to the theater. The 
 theater was torn down in the early ‘fifties to make way for the Custom House which still stands 
 there. 
 
 The year 1837 also saw the beginning of the largest hotel in the State up to that time,—The 
 Planters, on Fourth Street between Pine and Chestnut—designed by Henry Spence. This building 
 proved to be a center of the social life of St. Louis and the South for more than half a century fol- 
 lowing, and was superseded in 1893 by the New Planters Hotel, designed by Isaac Taylor, which 
 continued until December, 1922. After that time the building was remodeled by LaBeaume & Klein, 
 Architects, of St. Louis and is now leased for offices, being known as the Planters Building. 
 
 During the year 1837 there came to St. Louis a young man who did a considerable number of 
 early St. Louis churches,—Oliver A. Hart, who was born in Norwich, Connecticut in 1814. He 
 designed the Second Baptist Church, at Sixth and Locust Streets, in 1846; the First Presbyterian 
 Church, at Fourteenth and Locust (then known as Lucas Place); and also the Walnut Screet Presby- 
 terian Church, built in 1864, at Sixteenth and Walnut Streets. In later years Mr. Hart gave up the 
 practice of architecture, after he had become a Director of the Missouri Pacific Railway, the Sc. Louis 
 Gas Works, and the Mechanics Bank. He died in St. Louis in 1898, leaving a considerable fortune. 
 
 In November, 1837, the first Capitol erected in Jefferson City burned to the ground. It was 
 a commonplace two-story structure and stood on the site of the present Executive Mansion. 
 Fortunately Missouri had as Governor at that time a man who was determined to have a new 
 Capitol worthy of the State, and in December, 1837, Governor Boggs urged the approval of A. 
 
 [10] 
 
Stephen Hills’ plan for a new building. This approval being promptly obtained, the building was 
 begun early in 1838, on Capitol Hill, which is the site of the new Capitol, dedicated in 1924. 
 
 In connection with the building of the first pretentious Capitol ic should be related that while 
 the building was not completed until long after the estimated time, and cost a great deal more than 
 had originally been appropriated, a sweeping investigation by a Committee appointed by the Legis- 
 lature failed to disclose any trace of dishonesty on the part of the Architect or the Governor. It is a 
 matter of great satisfaction to a chronicler of architectural work in Missouri that he can write a clean 
 record in connection with all the Capitols built in the one hundred and two years since the Seat of 
 State Government was established at Jefferson City, a Capital named for a man who fills a large 
 place in the history of American Architecture. 
 
 The year 1839 was a notable one in Missouri’s architectural history. First, we will mention the 
 building of the Second Presbyterian Church in St. Louis. The congregation of the First Presbyterian 
 Church at Fourth and St. Charles having become crowded, a group withdrew from that body and 
 organized the Second Church; procuring a lot at the northwest corner of Fifth Street (now Broad- 
 way) and Walnut, from Pierre Chouteau for the sum of ten thousand dollars. Lucas Bradley, of 
 St. Louis, was engaged as the architect; and the brick and stone structure which he designed was de- 
 dicated on Oct. 141, 1840. It had cost forty-two thousand dollars and was at that time the most 
 costly church in the State, as well as the best architecturally. The congregation remained there until 
 {868, when they moved to the northwest corner of Seventeenth and Locust Streets. The Second 
 Presbyterian Church created as great a stir among the writers of the early ‘forties as the First Catholic 
 Cathedral had aroused twenty years earlier. In “Mississippi Valley Hlustrated,”’ edited by Lewis F. 
 Thomas and printed in 1841, we read: ““A person coming from the Rocky Mountains or one who 
 had never seen any building dedicated to the Deity, beyond a frame meeting-house in the woods, 
 would be struck with the grandeur and magnificence, both exterior and interior, of the Second Pres- 
 byterian Church; and probably feel the same degree of awe as one going from St. Louis to Rome 
 would experience in first beholding St. Peter’s.’’ Whether or not this was extravagant praise, we 
 must all regret that so beautifully proportioned an elevation as the photograph shows should have 
 been torn down only twenty-eight years after its completion, while the congregation moved to a 
 new building that had little architectural merit. 
 
 On July 8, 1839, Henry Singleton received notice that the design he had submitted for a new 
 courthouse in St. Louis had won the prize of One Hundred Dollars offered by the Commissioners; 
 and on August 12, 1839, Mr. Singleton entered into a contract with Joseph Foster for the carpenter 
 work on the courthouse. 
 
 Late in December, 1839, there arrived in St. Louis a young Englishman who was to earn for 
 himself, in later years, first rank among all the early architects of Missouri and the West. He was 
 George Ingham Barnett, born in Nottingham, Engand, March 20, 1815; and receiving his archi- 
 tectural training under Sir Thomas Hine, in London. He came to America in April, 1839, and 
 remained in New York City for a few months; after which he came to St. Louis where he was to 
 spend the remainder of his long and useful life. The first work he did in St. Louis was a perspective 
 drawing of the new courthouse which he made for Henry Singleton, the architect. Mr. Singleton 
 had won the competition with his plans and elevations, but apparently he was not able to make a 
 presentable perspective. This is not surprising, for there were very few men in America at that time 
 who understood the art of drawing in perspective. 
 
 Mr. Barnett next obtained employment by Lewis M. Clark, who was then busy with plans for 
 St. Vincent de Paul’s Catholic Church; and after he had ended his employment in that office, Mr. 
 Barnett launched upon independent practice which was to cover a period of nearly fifty years. The 
 
 Pail 
 
pages that follow in this book are replete with examples of his work and it should be mentioned 
 here that at the present time he has a son, Thomas P. Barnett who is one of the most prominent 
 architects in St. Louis; and likewise a grandson, George H. Barnett who is also a well-known St. 
 Louis architect. It is doubtful whether there is in the whole history of American Architecture 
 another instance of three generations of one family carrying on the work of the profession over a 
 
 period of nearly ninety years. 
 
 George I. Barnett was a charter member of the American Institute of Architects. He died in 
 St. Louis, December 29, 1898. 
 
 Returning to the year 1840, we find that another event of outstanding importance in the history 
 of Missouri’s Architecture occurred on July 4th. The occasion was the laying of the cornerstone of the 
 first building at the State University, in Columbia, Boone County. In 1839 the State authorities had 
 appointed a committee, of which Doctor John Gano Bryan, of St. Louis, was the Chairman, to 
 select a site for the newly created State University; and after visiting the several contesting towns, the 
 committee had selected Columbia; as architect they had selected A. Stephen Hills, who was then 
 building the Capitol at Jefferson City. It is interesting to read the Committee’s “Order of Pro- 
 cession”’ at the laying of that cornerstone: 
 
 First—Governor and Officers of State, and Marshal of the Day. 
 Second—Board of Curators and Secretary and Trustees of Columbia College. 
 Third—Chaplain and Orators of the Day. 
 
 Fourth—Principal undertakers of the University, preceded by the Architect. 
 Fifth—Clergy. 
 
 Sixth—Female teachers and young ladies under their charge. 
 
 Seventh—Male professors and teachers and their students. 
 
 Fighth—Ladies from abroad, town and country. 
 
 Ninth—Invited guests and strangers. 
 
 T enth—Citizens of the Town and County. 
 
 The Columbia College mentioned was an institution which antedated the University and which 
 was taken over by the new school. 
 
 It must not be assumed that the Architect led a procession of funeral directors. Contractors 
 at that time were known as “‘undertakers,”’ and Mr. Hills probably had three or four men following 
 him—the Undertaker for the stonework; Undertaker for the brickwork; and Undertaker for the 
 carpenter work, 
 
 All that is left today of that first building is the Ionic colonnade which occupies the place of 
 honor on the main campus. 
 
 During the summer of 1840 Dr. Joseph Nash McDowell first opened his classes in the School 
 of Medicine which was a branch of Kemper College in Saint Louis, and thus laid the foundation for 
 the present enviable position of this City as a medical center. Alchough Kemper College flourished 
 only a few years, Dr. McDowell later built another College on Gratiot Street, which during the Civil 
 War was used asa prison. By 1840 the St. Louis Hospital, illustrated in this Chapter, accomodated 
 two hundred patients; and when Dr. Charles Alexander Pope opened his Medical College at Eighth 
 and Myrtle Streets in 1848, the position of St. Louis in that profession became outstanding. Dr. Pope 
 served as President of the American Medical Association in 1854. 
 
 Little has been said so far about the early homes of the State. Of those illustrated in this book, 
 the home of Col. Auguste Chouteau, in St. Louis, is the oldest. The lower story of that house, built 
 of stone in 1764, first held the furs of the firm Laclede, Maxent & Co., of New Orleans. Then it 
 
 bes | 
 
was used as the headquarters of the Government, but was abandoned as such in 1795, after it had 
 fallen into bad repair. In that year Col. Chouteau bought it and after building the second story and 
 the porches, occupied it as his home until his death in 1829. His family continued to live there until 
 about 1842, after which the old house was torn down. 
 
 The Valle house at Sainte Genevieve is the oldest house in Missouri occupied as a dwelling at 
 the present time. 
 
 The Carr country home and the Berthold Mansion in town were among the finest in their day. 
 Another famous home of the very early days in St. Louis was the country place built by William 
 Stokes, which stood about where Pine and Leffingwell now intersect. No picture of that famous 
 home is now to be found. 
 
 It is surprising to find so large a home as that of General Thomas Lawson Price’s built in the 
 then remote City of Jefferson, as early as 1842. It was a stone structure and the scene of much social 
 gayety in Central Missouri for sixty years. 
 
 That there were handsome furnishings in some of those early homes we know from the exten- 
 sive collections of furniture and paintings that are still in the possession of many descendants now 
 living in Missouri. And as early as 1841 piano fortes of excellent tone and beautiful workmanship 
 were made at Hermann, a German settlement about eighty miles west of St. Louis. They were 
 shipped down the Missouri River from Hermann and sold to the wealthy families of the metropolis, 
 and elsewhere in the Mississippi Valley. 
 
 In 1849 the Hon. Henry Clay of Kentucky had completed a large home in Missouri, situated in 
 the center of an estate known as “Old Orchard.”’ He occupied it for one summer only and then the 
 estate was sold to the Calvary Cemetery Association. The house is still standing in the Cemetery. 
 
 Another brick house built in that same year, and still standing, was the country home of Henry 
 Shaw, situated in a vast acreage from which Tower Grove Park and The Missouri Botanical 
 Garden were later laid out. 
 
 The finest of all the homes in Missouri built in ante-bellum days was that of Ferdinand Kennett, 
 situated on a shoulder of limestone overlooking the Mississippi River, at Selma Landing in Jefferson 
 County. This famous home was completed in 1854, and even at that remote date, with all the 
 common labor performed by the owner’s slaves, and the limestone for the walls quarried from his 
 own ground, the cost amounted to more than $125,000.00. Ferdinand Kennett owned a tract of 
 nearly twenty-seven hundred acres of land along the River which included several lead mines. He 
 owned a shot tower and accumulated a large fortune thereby, after which he engaged George I. 
 Barnett to design a sumptuous home. When it is recalled that there was not at that time a mile of 
 railroad in the State of Missouri, and that all the skilled labor for such an undertaking had to be 
 brought from Philadelphia and other Eastern cities by boat, something of the magnitude of the 
 undertaking can be realized. Mr. Kennett lived to enjoy his home only about seven years. He died 
 in 1861 and was buried not far from the house on which he had lavished so much money and thought. 
 The nickname ‘“‘Kennett’s Castle’? was applied by the boatmen to whom the great tower was a land- 
 mark along the Mississippi. 
 
 After Mr. Kennett’s death, his family continued to occupy the home for many years, and then 
 it came into the possession of Mr. Robert Brookings of St. Louis. Mr. Brookings sold the place to 
 Mr. W. K. Kavanaugh of St. Louis who increased the size of the estate by two thousand acres, but 
 carefully guarded the original architecture of the house. About ten years ago Mr. Kavanaugh sold 
 the estate to Mr. W. O. Schock of St. Louis, whose son is the present owner.

The ’fifties were notable years for important buildings. In 1852 Robert S. Mitchell designed 
 the old Mercantile Library Building at Fifth and Locust Streets. In that same year George I. Barnett 
 designed the Union Methodist Church, at Eleventh and Locust Streets, St. Louis, which was the 
 best of all his churches. In 1853 Mr. Barnett designed the Trinitarian Congregational Church at 
 Tenth and Locust Streets, St. Louis,—the first church of that denomination in the State. 
 
 With the opening of the Public High School at Fifteenth and Olive Streets in St. Louis, in 
 1856, there began what many people regard as Missouri's greatest contribution to American Archi- 
 tecture. The old Tudor Gothic building which William Rumbold designed evidently set the style for 
 future years. At any rate when William B. Ittner began his notable career with the School Board of 
 St. Louis in 1897 he turned to the Tudor Period of England for his inspiration, and with what happy 
 results, the pages of Chapters [If and IV will testify. 
 
 By 1851 the work on the Courthouse in St. Louis had progressed very slowly and in that year 
 Robert S. Mitchell was appointed to finish the work. He immediately proceeded to tear down the 
 old brick courthouse, designed by Morton & Laveille, which had been used up to that time as the 
 east wing of the courthouse. But before Mr. Mitchell had gone very far, the Court appointed 
 Thomas D. P. Lanham as Architect in 1857. His fee was to be four per cent of the amount of 
 work done under his supervision. Soon after the appointment of Mr. Lanham, the County Court 
 was abolished by the Legislature of Missouri and on the first Monday in August, 1859, the County 
 Commissioners were elected. On the 21st of September following, they declared the office of Archi- 
 tect vacant; and on the 22nd of September appointed William Rumbold to the office at a salary of 
 $125.00 per month. The work from that time on received no more interruptions. The design for a 
 new dome which Mr. Lanham had prepared to take the place of Singleton’s was rejected; and the 
 cast iron dome designed by Mr. Rumbold was adopted. On July 1, 1862, the building was pro- 
 nounced complete; twenty-three years from the time that Mr. Singleton had first been awarded the 
 commission. In a summary of the total cost, which was given as $1,199,871.91, the amount paid 
 out for architects’ fees over a period of twenty-three years was $43,844.33. 
 
 In 1860 work was begun on Christ Church (Episcopal) at the southeast corner of Thirteenth 
 and Locust Streets in St. Louis, the architect being Leopold Eidlicz of New York. Construction 
 had not progressed very far when the Civil War stopped nearly all building activity and the church 
 was not occupied until after 1865. Even then the tower was not buile nor the flying buttresses. 
 In 1910 the present tower was erected,—Kivas Tully of St. Louis being the architect and W. A. 
 Caldwell of St. Louis the designer. The reredos, designed by Harry Hems of Exeter, England, 
 was donated by Mrs. Christine Blair Graham of St. Louis and installed in 1911. 
 
 There were very few important buildings finished in St. Louis or elsewhere in Missouri between 
 the years 1861 and 1865. The Residence of Dr. DeMenil was completed in the summer of 1863; 
 and the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church in St. Louis was first occupied on Christmas Day, 1864. 
 
 The Civil War dealt a heavy blow to St. Louis and to the whole State of Missouri for that 
 matter. The old trade territory of St. Louis was impoverished; while Chicago grew rich during the 
 War in supplying materials for the Union armies. Worst of all, the sentiment was about evenly 
 divided between the North and the South, and with old animosities continuing for many years aft- 
 erwards, the development of the State was seriously retarded.

CHAPTER Il 
 ge)” THE 9TH OF APRIL, 1865, the long, civil warfare in the States came to a close at 
 
 Appomattox Courthouse; and the manner in which the leaders of the opposing armies con- 
 
 ducted themselves at that surrender helped immeasurably to soften the old animosities. — Ic 
 is an interesting fact of history that both Lee and Grant had spent some of the earlier years of their 
 lives in Missouri. From 1837 to 1839 Lieutenant Robert E. Lee was engaged in the work of im- 
 proving the Harbor of St. Louis for the United States Government,—his commanding ofhcer at 
 that time being General Charles Gratiot. At the outbreak of the Mexican War he had set out for 
 the Southwest from Jefferson Barracks, the old Army Post just south of St. Louis; and Grant too had 
 gone forth to that campaign from Jefferson Barracks. After the Mexican War, Grant resigned his 
 commission in the Army and tried to make a living in the real estate business in St. Louis. When 
 that failed, he turned to his small farm, a few miles southwest of St. Louis. Then had come the 
 War, and entering it inconspicuously, he had emerged as a national figure. 
 
 Wich the cessation of hostilities there came, in Missouri, a feverish activity in railroad building; 
 and those railroads in a few years brought about great changes in the map of the State. The 
 boundaries remained as they had been, but new towns came into being along the new railroads; 
 while many of the older towns which had attained their size by their location on either the Missis- 
 sippi or Missouri Rivers, found their importance waning with the gradual decline of steamboat 
 traffic. 
 
 The most conspicuous example of a town that grew rapidly after the Civil War, and by 
 means of the activity in railroad building, was Kansas City. It had attained something of a repu- 
 tation as an enterprising community in the days before the War because of its location at the junction 
 of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers. Sc. Joseph, a few miles to the north, had become the western 
 terminus of a railroad with the completion of the Hannibal & Sc. Joseph in 1859; and Kansas City, 
 realizing that its very life depended upon the immediate acquisition of the steel highways, set about 
 the task of getting them with an enterprise that soon won the admiration of Western Missouri. 
 
 The pioneer architect of Kansas City was Asa B. Cross who went there in 1858 from St. Louis. 
 Born in Camden, New Jersey on December 9, 1826, Mr. Cross had come West in the early ‘fifties and 
 worked for a few years in St. Louis. His first commission of any importance in Kansas City was 
 the Pacific Hotel, built ac the southwest corner of Fourth and Delaware Streets in 1860. It burned 
 in 1867 but was rebuilt the following year on a larger scale. Then when Kansas City had acquired 
 several railroads, leading in all directions, Mr. Cross designed the first Union Station there. Located 
 in the West Bottoms and connected with the main part of the City by the inclined Ninth Street 
 Cable Line, the Kansas City Union Station excited the amazement of thousands of native sons and 
 daughters from Western Missouri and from Kansas who had their first taste of metropolitan bustle 
 and confusion in that building. 
 
 Mr. Cross continued a wide practice in Kansas City until his death there on August 18, 1894, 
 His grandson, Alfred E. Barnes, is a member of the firm Hoit, Price & Barnes,—one of the leading 
 architectural organizations in present-day Kansas City. 
 
 Other pioneer architects of Kansas City were Adriance Van Brunt and his younger brother, 
 John Van Brunt. In later years they were members of the frm Van Brunt & Hertz. Adriance Van 
 Brunt was admitted to the American Institute of Architects in 1873; and when the first Park Board 
 was organized in Kansas City, he served on it for several years. One of the newer boulevards in 
 Kansas City is named in his honor. 
 
 Architectural history in Western Missouri is woven around ‘‘Vaughan’s Diamond” at The 
 Junction in Kansas City more than any other building. Mr. Vaughan was an early dealer in real 
 
 Peer) 
 
estate and when he engaged Mr. Cross to erect a pretentious building at the most strategic corner in 
 that growing town in 1869, he unknowingly placed there a siren who was to lure many future real 
 estate dealers and arthitects to financial peril. The junction of Main, Delaware and Ninth Streets 
 was then, and for forty years thereafter, the busiest corner in Kansas City. The Ninth Street Cable 
 Line loaded and unloaded the greater number of its passengers there; persons making appointments, 
 either business or social, usually specified The Junction as the meeting place; and thus Mr. Vaughan’s 
 property was the object of much speculation. After the “Diamond” had been surpassed by more 
 modern buildings on other corners, first one enterprising architect and then another would join 
 forces with a promoter, and ere long the newspapers would herald the story of a projected office 
 building or hotel for that site. After 1910 when the new Union Station was begun, Ninth Street 
 was considered too far north for future greatness as a business street; and all hope of seeing a Flatiron 
 Building at The Junction vanished. About 1920 a modest hotel building, of no architectural pre- 
 tension, was built there. 
 
 Among the early architects in St. Joseph were Stigers & Boettner; P. F. Meagher; and W. 
 Angelo Powell. They were all located in that City prior to 1870. E.D. Mason was another early 
 architect in St. Joseph and was admitted to the American Institute of Architects in 1873. The work 
 of nearly all chose men has disappeared, but it is surprising to find so good an example of Early 
 English Gothic as the Corby Memorial Chapel, built near Saint Joseph in 1871-72 and designed by 
 P. F. Meagher. John F. Corby was one of the very successful business men of early Sc. Jospeh, and 
 his wife was, before her marriage, Miss Amanda Musick, of Florissant, St. Louis County, Missouri. 
 
 The outstanding man in the history of the profession in the western section of the State is 
 Edmond Jacques Eckel, who was born of French parentage at Strasbourg, Alsace, France, on June 
 22, 1845. In the fall of 1864 he was admitted to the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, and after his 
 graduation in 1868, he came to America. Working for a short time in New York, he later went to 
 Cleveland: and then the next year he ventured further west to Omaha. While enroute from Omaha 
 to Kansas City, he was detained at St. Joseph by a railroad wreck, and while waiting for the wreck 
 to be cleared up, he looked about the town and concluded it was a good location for a young 
 architect. That decision was made on July 3, 1869 and Mr. Eckel is still active in the profession 
 there. He worked first for P. F. Meagher and later for Stigers & Boettner. Late in the ’seventies he 
 launched into independent practice; and in 1880 he entered into partnership with George R. Mann, 
 and the firm of Eckel & Mann continued until 1893. After that Mr. Eckel practiced alone until 
 1908 when the partnership of Eckel & Boschen was formed. That association existed only two 
 years; and in 1910 Mr. Will S. Aldrich came to St. Joseph from New York and entered into the 
 partnership of Eckel & Aldrich which still exists. Mr. George R. Eckel, a son of Edmond J. Eckel, 
 and an alumnus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Class of 1905, is also a member of the 
 frm. Mr. Aldrich was graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1888; and in 1895 
 he was the winner of the Rotch Traveling Scholarship. All the members of the firm are members 
 of the American Institute of Architects,—Mr. Edmond J. Eckel being a Fellow. 
 
 Returning to the situation in Sc. Louis, we find that after the Civil War Mr. George I. Barnett 
 was resuming the wide practice he had enjoyed prior to that interruption. About the time of the 
 War, Henry G. Isaacs came to St. Louis and began work in the office of Mr. Barnett. Born in 
 Philadelphia, in 1840, Mr. Isaacs was educated at Trinity School in New York, and after his gradua- 
 tion there, he entered the office of Richard Upjohn, one of the really great Gothic designers in the 
 early history of American Architecture. In later years Mr. Isaacs practiced independently in Sc. 
 Louis and designed the Church of the Holy Communion (Episcopal); the Patchen Residence at 
 Twenty-third and Locust; and the Mercantile Library Building which replaced the old one designed 
 
 by Robert S. Mitchell. 
 
 [ 50 ] 
 
Another luminary appears for the first time in the pages of this Chapter. Thomas Waryng 
 Walsh came to St. Louis about 1850 from Kilkenny, Ireland where his father, William Walsh, was 
 an architect. After receiving his education at Trinity College, Dublin, Thomas W. Walsh entered 
 the ofhce of Sir William Dean Butler for his professional training. His most famous work in 
 St. Louis was the Four Courts Building, erected at Twelfth and Clark in 1869-70 at a cost of five 
 hundred thousand dollars. He was also the architect of the present buildings for St. Louis Uni- 
 versity at Grand and West Pine; and designed the Church of St. Francis Xavier at Grand and Lindell, 
 but died on March 29, 1890 before the design was executed. His son, Robert W. Walsh, a Fellow 
 of the American Institute of Architects, is still living in St. Louis but has retired from active practice; 
 and Robert P. Walsh, the fourth generation of the family to follow the profession, is now in the 
 othce of Trueblood & Graf, prominent St. Louis architects. 
 
 Of the homes illustrated in this Chapter, many follow very closely the general types of residence 
 work done before the War. The conspicuous example of a house that was considered up-to-the- 
 minute in 1869 was that of J. O. Pierce, built at Chouteau and St. Ange Avenues in St. Louis, and 
 which was soon nicknamed ‘‘Cracker Castle’? because the owner had accumulated a fortune by 
 making “‘hardtack”’ and crackers during the Civil War. We may wonder, as we look at the picture, 
 how any architect could have designed a building so ugly; but if those critics have the right idea 
 who contend that an architect should make his buildings reflect the fads of the era in which they are 
 born, then C. B. Clarke succeeded admirably in his design of the Pierce residence, for where could 
 there be found a better background for a generation of women who wore bustles and men who wore 
 Prince Albert coats and stove-pipe hats? Certainly nothing on land was more suggestive of the 
 Victorian Era; and when that same generation needed to travel, they had the salon of the steamboat 
 “Grand Republic’’, designed and furnished according to the best ideas that the World’s Exposition 
 in London had brought forth in 1859. 
 
 In the early ’seventies Vandeventer Place in St. Louis had its beginning as an exclusive residence 
 neighborhood. The first house built there, on the north side of the Place, ac the Grand Avenue 
 entrance, was the home of Charles H. Peck who came out to St. Louis from his native city, New 
 York, about 1840. Mr. Peck had prepared himself for the architectural profession and followed 
 that line of work for the first ten years of his life in St. Louis. From 1848 to 1850 he was in partner- 
 ship with George I. Barnett, but about 1851 he founded the Vulcan Iron Works in which business 
 he soon accumulated a fortune. He was one of the first Directors of the Missouri Pacific Railroad 
 and a promoter of the first Lindell Hotel. 
 
 It is in this Chapter that we first hear of Thomas B. Annan, who was born in Sc. Louis in 1839 
 and admitted to the Institute in 1874. In 1875 Mr. Annan was in partnership with Major F. D. 
 Lee and in that year they completed the Merchant’s Exchange Building in St. Louis, a remarkable 
 building for its day. The fine old walnut woodwork of the interior is the object of much admira- 
 tion today. 
 
 The Cupples residence, illustrated in Chapter III, is another one of Mr. Annan’s commissions, 
 and it is also notable for its interior woodwork. 
 
 In 1880 another native Missourian had begun to make a reputation in architecture. He was 
 Andrew Jackson Bryan, who went out to San Francisco about 1870 from Livingston County, 
 Missouri. His book ‘‘Architectural Proportion’’, published in 1880, had a wide circulation at that 
 time. William L. Steele had considerable fun with the book in his article entitled “The Cult of the 
 Column” which appeared in ‘‘The Architect”? (New York) in August, 1927; but when we consider 
 that present-day American writers have the benefit of all the light shed on architectural theories in 
 the forty-eight years past, and that che author of “Architectural Proportion’’ was only thirty-two 
 years old when he wrote the book, then we can afford to be a little more charitable in our criticism. 
 
 [st] 
 
The only architect in Missouri who was admitted to the Institute in 1881 was M. F. Bell, of 
 Fulton; and in 1883 the only candidate accepted was H. William Kirchner, of Sc. Louis. 
 
 In 1884 five men from St. Louis were admitted. They were Charles E. Ilsley, Jerome B. Legg, 
 
 Charles F. May; Charles K. Ramsay and Isaac S. Taylor. 
 
 The year 1885, saw a large group of Missouri architects entering the Institute, as follows: 
 Edmond J. Eckel of St. Joseph; Pierce B. Furber, Thomas J. Furlong, Charles C. Hellmers, Jr., J. H. 
 McNamara and Alfred F. Rosenheim, all of Sc. Louis; and the following men from Kansas City: 
 Fred B. Hamilton, G. M. D. Knox, L. L. Levering and Herman Probst. H.H. Hohenschild of 
 
 Rolla, Missouri was also admitted in 1885. 
 
 The year 1886 marked a turning point not only in the history of Missouri’s Architecture but in 
 that of the whole Nation. It was then that one of the strong personalities in architectural history, 
 Henry Hobson Richardson, succumbed to a fatal illness at the age of forty-seven. He had brought 
 the whole country to thinking in terms of the Romanesque Style for all classes of buildings; and 
 shortly before his death he requested that his practice be turned over to three young men in his office, 
 Messrs. Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge—but he did not demand that they perpetuate his name in their 
 work. The senior member of the new firm, George F. Shepley, was born in St. Louis, Missouri on 
 November 7, 1860. After his graduation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he 
 entered the ofice of H. H. Richardson and a few years later married Mr. Richardson’s daughter. 
 The firm Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge executed a large amount of work in St. Louis during the next 
 
 decade and established a St. Louis office. 
 
 The year 1886 saw the beginning of another firm that was soon to achieve a national reputation. 
 It was then that William S. Eames and Thomas Crane Young entered into the partnership which was 
 to play so large a part in the development of architecture in the West during the next thirty years. 
 Their high standing has been due not only to the many fine buildings they designed and built, but 
 ic has been traceable in equal measure to the character of the two men composing the firm. We shall 
 have more to say of Eames & Young in Chapters II] and IV, since their greatest activities took 
 place after 1889. 
 
 Another notable figure first heard of during the years embraced within this Chapter was Theodore 
 Carl Link. Born near Heidelberg, Germany on March 17, 1850, Mr. Link studied architecture and 
 engineering at the Ecole Centrale in Paris. He came to America when twenty years of age and for 
 the first three years worked in New York and Philadelphia. He first came to St. Louis in 1873 and 
 shortly thereafter was made Assistant Chief Engineer at Forest Park, which was then being laid out. 
 Later he was appointed Superintendent of Public Parks for the entire City, which post he held until 
 1876. After that he practiced his profession in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia until 1883, when he 
 returned to St. Louis. He was admitted to the American Institute of Architects in 1889. We shall 
 
 hear more of Mr. Link in Chapter III. 
 
 The name Van Brunt took on added importance in the architectural history of Missouri in 
 1887 when Henry Van Brunt and Frank M. Howe, who had succeeded the firm of Ware & Van 
 Brunt in Boston, established themselves in Kansas City. 
 
 Born in Boston in 1832, Henry Van Brunt was not related to Adriance and John Van Brunt 
 who had preceded him in coming to Kansas City. Henry Van Brunt was a member of the American 
 Institute of Architects from its beginning, in 1857. He served as Secretary of the organization in 
 1861, which was about the time that he formed the partnership in Boston with William Robert 
 Ware, who later was the head of the first School of Architecture ac Columbia University in New 
 
 York.

CHAPTER SII 
 
 Arcs writing of a trivial nature has been done in recent years concerning the so-called 
 
 “Gay Nineties’. Discounting a large part of these effusions and studying seriously the 
 
 work of those years, we must conclude chat at least in architecture the "Nineties marked 
 one of the most romantic periods in our history. It was in that decade that skyscrapers had their 
 beginning; the first large railway passenger stations were built in those years; and there was a general 
 awakening of interest in architecture on the part of the American public. 
 
 In St. Louis the year 1890 was a milestone in the history of the profession for it was then that 
 the St. Louis Chapter, American Institute of Architects, was organized; and William S. Eames, one 
 of the youngest members of the profession at that time, was elected the first President of the Chapter. 
 Born in Clinton, Michigan on August 4, 1857, Mr. Eames removed to St. Louis with his parents in 
 1863, and was fitted for college in the public schools of this City. He then entered Washington 
 University and was graduated from that Institution in the Class of 1878. He began his course of 
 training for architecture by working as a draftsman in the offices of St. Louis architects, devoting 
 three years to such work. In 1881 he went abroad and made a complete tour of the continent and 
 upon his recurn to St. Louis, was appointed Deputy Commissioner of Public Buildings. He held 
 that position until 1886, when he entered into partnership with Thomas C. Young. Thomas Crane 
 Young, the junior member of the firm Eames & Young, was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in 1858. 
 His early education was obtained at the Grand Rapids High School, where he was graduated; and 
 afterwards he studied for one year at the Art Academy in Cincinnati. Coming to St. Louis as a 
 student of the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, Mr. Young entered upon his notable career as an 
 architect. Upon completing his studies at the Art School, four years were spent in the ofhces of 
 E. M. Wheelwright, and of Ware & Van Brunt of Boston; and two more years in European travel, 
 including work at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the University of Heidelberg. Mr. Young is still 
 living in St. Louis and is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. 
 
 Of the buildings illustrated in this Chapter the first ones are the Samuel Cupples Residence in 
 St. Louis and the George F. Winter Residence in Kansas City. While these have more generous 
 fenestration than the typical Richardsonian house, they still show the lingering influence of the 
 Romanesque Style. 
 
 In the midst of all the Romanesque work that was done in Missouri during the Eighties and 
 on down through the ’Nineties, there appeared in Kansas City, in 1890, an office building which 
 was a decided departure from the prevailing style. This was the New York Life Insurance Company's 
 Kansas City Building, on Ninth Street, facing Baltimore Avenue. While this building was still new, 
 Louis Sullivan completed the Wainwright Building in St. Louis, in 1891, and instituted a far- 
 reaching theory in the design of modern office buildings. In 1892 Mr. Sullivan designed the 
 Wainwright Tomb, in Bellefontaine Cemetery, and applied his intricate geometrical ornament to 
 icalso. In 1893 he designed two more large buildings in St. Louis—the Union Trust Building, at 
 the northwest corner of Seventh and Olive Streets, and the St. Nicholas Hotel, at the northwest 
 corner of Eighth and Locust. In the Wainwright Building Sullivan emphasized the steel con- 
 struction by means of his strong, vertical lines of brick and terra-cotta; in the St. Nicholas Hotel, 
 he imparted a domestic character to his design by means of the gable roof, the conspicuous chimneys, 
 and the bay windows. 
 
 During the years 1893-94 the picturesque architecture of Saint Louis gained three notable 
 additions. One was the City Hall, the work of Eckel & Mann, of St. Joseph; the next was the 
 Union Station, a little further west on Market Street, at Eighteenth, of which Theodore C. Link, 
 
 [ 80 ] 
 
of St. Louis, was the architect. The St. Louis Union Station was the first of the many fine railway 
 passenger stations built in this country during the past thirty-five years; and while the newer ones 
 have more modern equipment, the St. Louis Station still has the virtue of being distinctive. 
 Fortunately its sordid surroundings will soon be removed and an adequate approach provided. 
 
 The third of the three picturesque buildings was the Visitation Convent, at Cabanne and Belt 
 Avenues, designed by Barnett, Haynes & Barnett of St. Louis. This was one of the early commis- 
 sions of that firm, composed at that time of George D. and Thomas P. Barnett, sons of George 
 Ingham Barnett, and John Haynes. In 1911 Thomas P. Barnett withdrew from the firm and estab- 
 lished an independent office; and the firm name of Barnett, Haynes & Barnett was perpetuated by 
 taking into the partnership, George H. Barnett, son of George D. Barnett. 
 
 An event of far-reaching importance in the history of the profession occured one evening in 
 October, 1894 when a group of younger architects in St. Louis met in a temporary frame building 
 which was located in the center of Twelfth Street and used as the ofhce of the Contractor who was 
 erecting the new City Hall, ac Twelfth and Market. The purpose of the meeting was the formation 
 of an Architectural Club, and the organization begun that night has continued down to the present 
 time, with a varied and interesting career. There were many brilliant young men among the charter 
 members of the Club, men whose talent was recognized all over the country. Oscar Enders was 
 then designer for Isaac Taylor; J. Willard Adams, the first President of the Club, was designer for 
 Theodore C. Link; Harvey Ellis was designer for Eckel & Mann, of St. Joseph and St. Louis; and 
 William B. Itener was then working for Eames & Young. The Club during those early years 
 occupied rented quarters in various locations in the downtown district. At one time they were 
 located in the Holland Building and later on in the Dolph Building. About 1899 they were located 
 in the old William Morrison Residence, at the southeast corner of Seventeenth and Locust, which is 
 still standing and now used as the headquarters of the Jeflerson Club. Again they found a haven in 
 the old Museum of Fine Arts, ac Nineteenth and Locust; and finally, in 1909, they managed to buy 
 the brick stable which belonged to the old Guerin homestead, and which Jules Guerin had used as 
 a studio. The stable was remodeled and made a snug clubhouse, but by 1914 the growth of the 
 Club, especially in ics Atelier, demanded more room. A strip of ground was purchased to the north 
 of the stable, and an addition built; but by 1923 the Atelier had again outgrown its quarters. In the 
 spring of that year the Club bought the sixteen-room brick residence which had been buile about 
 {888 by Jules Guerin’s father, at 3964 Washington Avenue; and thus the Club had obtained a foot- 
 hold on a major thoroughfare, after nearly twenty-nine years’ existence. 
 
 Although the Club has had in its membership, from the beginning, the majority of the older 
 and prominent architects of St. Louis, it has always been essentially a young men’s organization. 
 The most important feature through all the years has been the educational work. Evening classes 
 in architectural design have been held annually and also classes in outdoor sketching. Ic is interesting 
 to look back over the work of the Sketch Classes of bygone summers and find a water color drawing 
 of the Old Cathedral, at Second and Walnut Streets in St. Louis, signed by Benno Janssen, in 1897. 
 Benno Janssen, a native of Sc. Louis, is now one of the outstanding architects of Pittsburgh, Penn- 
 sylvania. His elder brother, Ernest C. Janssen of St. Louis, has for many years been a Fellow of the 
 American Institute of Architects. There are other old-time sketches signed by boys of another 
 decade who have since become leading members of the profession here in St. Louis. 
 
 About twenty years ago an anonymous donor established a Scholarship atc Washington 
 University in St. Louis which is known as the St. Louis Architectural Clu Scholarship, and many 
 worthy young men have been helped along the way by means of that fund. In 1923 Preston J. 
 Bradshaw, St. Louis Architect, established an annual prize of One Hundred Dollars for the best 
 work in the Summer Sketch Class.

Meetings of the Club are held on the first and third Thursdays in each month, from October to 
 June, in the older building at 514 Culver Way; and officers are elected in April of each year. 
 
 In the year that the Club was organized, 1894, two young architects came to St. Louis together 
 from Texas, each bringing with him a son who was to serve the Architectural Club as President in 
 future years. Those two young architects of that date were William A. Cann and J. Hal Lynch. 
 Mr. Cann has been dead for several years, but J. Hal Lynch & Son are still practicing in St. Louis— 
 most of their work, however, being in the Southern States, and of an institutional character. 
 
 Shortly after Louis Sullivan had completed his three large buildings in St. Louis, the National 
 Convention of the American Institute of Architects was held in St. Louis, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, 
 in 1895. Daniel H. Burnham, of Chicago, was then President of the Institute. 
 
 One of the most conspicuous contributions that Missouri has made to American Architecture 
 had its beginning in 1897 when William B. Ittner was appointed Commissioner of School Buildings 
 for the Board of Education in St. Louis. Born in St. Louis, September 4, 1864, Mr. Ittner acquired 
 his education in the schools of this City, being graduated from the Manual Training School, which 
 was then a department of Washington University, in 1884. His architectural studies were pursued 
 at Cornell University, from which he was graduated in 1887. In the same year that Mr. Ittner was 
 appointed to his position with the School Board, he served the St. Louis Architectural Club as 
 President, and continued in that office during 1898. His work in St. Louis soon attracted national 
 attention, and in 1914 he severed his connection with the School Board for the purpose of extending 
 his practice to other sections of the Nation. While the impression prevails in some quarters that he 
 confines his work to school buildings, it is interesting to find that he has designed two charming 
 small churches in St. Louis; the large and impressive Scottish Rite Cathedral, on Lindell Boulevard; 
 his own residence on Bartmer Avenue; and was associated with George F. A. Brueggeman in the 
 designing of the building for the Missouri Athletic Association, in 1914. 
 
 Mr. Ittner is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and a Past President of the St. 
 Louis Chapter. His son, William B. Ictner, Jr. is a member of the present firm, William B. Ictner, 
 Incorporated; and David Stephen, Jr., who served as President of the St. Louis Architectural Club 
 in 1912, is also a member of the firm. 
 
 Along in the middle or late Nineties John Lawrence Mauran came to St. Louis as a partner 
 of the firm Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge, of Boston and St. Louis. In 1900 he withdrew from his 
 connection with Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge and formed a partnership with Ernest J. Russell and 
 Edward G. Garden, to practice under the firm title of Mauran, Russell & Garden. Born in 
 Providence, Rhode Island, in 1866, Mr. Mauran received his professional education at the Massa- 
 chusetts Institute of Technology, where he was graduated in the Class of 1889. After some time 
 spent in travel and study in Europe, he returned to Boston and entered the office of Shepley, Rutan 
 & Coolidge. Later the work of that firm took him to Chicago; and from there he came to St. Louis. 
 He served as National Treasurer of the American Institute of Architects for two terms; and in 1915 
 was elected National President of the Institute, holding that office until 1918. 
 
 Ernest John Russell was born in London, England, March 5, 1870. He came to America at 
 an early age and was educated in the public schools of Colorado Springs, Colorado. He is a Fellow 
 of the American Institute of Architects; a member of the City Plan Commission of St. Louis; and 
 few architects in the country have served on as many juries for architectural competitions as has 
 
 Mr. Russell. 
 
 William DeForrest Crowell, the junior member of the firm, Mauran, Russell & Crowell, is a 
 native of Hyannis, Massachusetts where he was born on February 10, 1879. He received his 
 
 [ 82 ] 
 
professional education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts 
 in Paris. 
 
 In 1920 William F. Wischmeyer and W. Oscar Mullgarde were made Associates of the firm 
 Mauran, Russell & Crowell. Mr. Mullgarde served as President of the St. Louis Architectural Club 
 in 1913; and again in 1920. 
 
 At the National Convention of the American Institute of Architects in 1899, Henry Van Brunt 
 of Kansas City, was elected President of that body. Mr. Van Brunt, who had removed to Kansas 
 City in 1887 from Boston, was senior member of the firm Van Brunt & Howe. Besides carrying 
 on a large practice, Mr. Van Brunt found time for considerable writing. His “Greek Lines and 
 Other Architectural Essays’’ first appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in 1892, and were published 
 in book form the following year. Another literary work of his was the translation of Violett le Duc’s 
 “Discourses on Architecture’. Mr. Van Brunt died in 1903, leaving a son, Courtlandt Van Brunt, 
 of the present firm, Buckley & Van Brunt, Architects, in Kansas City. The business of the firm 
 Van Brunt & Howe passed to the firm Howe, Hoit & Cutler after Mr. Henry Van Brunt’s death; 
 Mr. Henry F. Hoit and Mr. William Cutler being the new members of the organization. 
 
 In the chronology of architectural events in Missouri there is nothing that eclipses in importance 
 the founding of the School of Architecture at Washington University, in St. Louis, in 1901-02. 
 Previous to that time the only person who had ever received a degree in architecture from a St. Louis 
 institution of learning was Harry Newington, who was graduated from O'Fallon Polytechnic 
 Institute in 1881. In later years Mr. Newington was in active practice in New York City, and 
 retired a few years ago. 
 
 The new School of Architecture and Engineering at Washington University was in charge of 
 Professor Frederick M. Mann and continued under him until 1910. Professor Mann was graduated 
 from the University of Minnesota in 1892; and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture at 
 the Massachusetts Instituce of Technology in 1894. The following year he received his Master's 
 Degree at the same Institution. There were very few students in the School in the earlier years, but 
 after Washington University moved out to its new campus in 1905, and the School of Architecture 
 and Engineering was installed in Cupples Hall, No. 1, the Department grew gradually. We shall 
 follow its growth in later Chapters. 
 
 Some writers have referred to the year 1904 as the Golden Age of St. Louis. Certainly che 
 Louisiana Purchase Exposition did arouse much public interest in architecture, just as the Columbian 
 Exposition in Chicago, ten years earlier, had done. However, the books published on the subject 
 of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition were so many and so comprehensive that it has been thought 
 wise to limit space in this publication to one view of the central architectural feature of the grounds. 
 The Administration Building for the Exposition was the massive granite structure which Robert S. 
 Brookings of St. Louis had provided for the new group of Washington University’s buildings. 
 Cope & Stewardson, Philadelphia Architects, had brought that building to completion about the 
 time that the World’s Fair was under construction, and the University Corporation leased it to the 
 Exposition Company for the duration of the Fair. The Fine Arts Building, a permanent structure 
 of buff colored limestone, and designed by Cass Gilbert of New York, has come down to the City of 
 St. Louis as a heritage from the Exposition; and after the temporary buildings had been removed 
 from Forest Park, the Exposition Company took the remaining funds from its treasury and erecetd 
 the colossal statue of Saint Louis in granite and bronze, placing it in front of the Arc Museum as a 
 gift to the City. Another gift to St. Louis from the Exposition Company was Jefterson Memorial 
 Hall, completed in 1913, and built by Isaac Taylor, Sc. Louis Architect, to mark the main entrance 
 to the World’s Fair Grounds. This building now houses the collections of the Missouri Historical 
 Society. 
 
 [ 83 ] 
 
In connection with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition it is interesting to refer to the home of 
 David R. Francis, which appears on Page 103 of this book. Mr. Francis was President of the 
 Exposition Company and in that capacity host to all the distinguished visitors who attended the 
 Fair. Grover Cleveland, formerly President of the United States, and Theodore Roosevelt, who then 
 held that high office, were entertained there at the same time. 
 
 In 1904 the highest honor which the architectural profession can bestow upon one of its 
 members was, for the second time, given to a Missouri architect. He was William S. Eames, of 
 Sct. Louis. Mr. Eames continued in office during 1905. 
 
 After the feverish activity in building operations which had marked the preparation for the 
 Exposition, nearly all the members of the profession in St. Louis were glad of an opportunity to 
 
 rest. “There were no events of major importance to the profession that took place in Missouri during 
 the years 1905 and 1906.

 { NEVIEWERS of recent American history have frequently mentioned the fact that the year 
 G) 1907 was one of unusual religious zeal among all the denominations. They cite figures 
 showing the growth of the different sects and point out the widespread interest in religious 
 
 subjects among writers and students in the colleges and universities. It is therefore not surprising 
 to find that in Missouri there was great activity that year in church building. In Kansas City 
 there was the First Congregational Church; and in St. Louis the Second Baptist; the Church of 
 the Messiah, Unitarian; Union Avenue Christian; and the Temple Israel. It was about that time 
 too that work was begun on the New Catholic Cathedral, at Lindell and Newstead, in St. Louis. 
 
 There were several changes in the names of architectural firms in the State at that period. In 
 Kansas City Charles A. Smith had formed a partnership with Messrs. Rea & Lovitt, under the 
 firm title of Smith, Rea & Loviee. Mr. William H. Cutler died in that year and the firm Howe, 
 Hoit & Cutler became Howe & Hoit. After Mr. Howe’s death in 1909, Mr. Henry F. Hoit 
 carried on the business alone. 
 
 Another new firm appearing in Kansas City then was Wilder & Wight. Mr. Thomas Wight, 
 formerly of the office of McKim, Mead & White in New York, had come West with Mr. Edward 
 Wilder, a young man from Kansas who had been in the East studying architecture. Their partner- 
 ship continued until 1912, when Mr. Wilder withdrew from the practice of architecture; and after 
 Mr. William D. Wight came to Kansas City, the firm became Wight & Wight. 
 
 In St. Louis the new firm Mariner & LaBeaume was making headway. Mr. Louis LaBeaume, 
 a native of St. Louis, had gone to New York in his early years for two years’ study at the School 
 of Architecture in Columbia University. After his work there, he had gained practical experience 
 in the offices of Peabody & Stearns and of Andrews, Jacques & Rantoul in Boston; and when a 
 large organization was being formed preparatory to the planning of the buildings for the Louisiana 
 Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, he was qualified to serve as Assistant to the Chief of Design 
 on that work. 
 
 Mr. Mariner and Mr. LaBeaume continued together until 1912. In 1913 Mr. LaBeaume entered 
 into partnership with Mr. Eugene S. Klein, a native of St. Louis who had received his professional 
 education at Harvard University, and their association has continued down to the present time. 
 
 It was about 1907 that Albert B. Groves succeeded the firm of Weber & Groves in St. Louis. 
 Born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1866, Mr. Groves was graduated from Cornell University 
 in the Class of 1888, and shortly thereafter came to St. Louis. 
 
 In 1908 Ernest C. Klipstein of St. Louis entered into partnership with Walter L. Rachmann, 
 and the firm Klipstein & Rathmann in the twenty years since then has become one of the prominent 
 organizations in St. Louis. Mr. Klipstein, a native of St. Louis, was graduated from the Massa- 
 chusetts Institute of Technology in 1894; and later he studied in Munich and also in Atelier Godfrey 
 Freynet, in Paris. Returning to St. Louis after his European study, he practiced independently 
 until 1908. Mr. Rathmann, the junior member of the firm, was also born and reared in St. Louis. 
 He received his education at the School of Architecture, University of Pennsylvania. Both Mr. 
 Klipstein and Mr. Rathmann are Fellows of the American Institute of Architects. 
 
 In addition to all the native sons who had returned to St. Louis, there was one young architect 
 from the South who had established himself in St. Louis about the time that the wave of church 
 building was at its height in Missouri. L. Baylor Pendleton, a native of Atlanta, Georgia, had 
 been graduated from the Georgia School of Technology in 1902 and came up to St. Louis not 
 long after finishing his school work. He is now President of the St. Louis Chapter, American 
 
 Institute of Architects. 
 
 ea 
 
Ernest Helfensteller, William A. Hirsch and Jesse N. Watson had entered into the partnership 
 of Helfensteller, Hirsch & Watson about the time that this Chapter of our review begins. Mr. 
 Helfensteller served as President of the Sc. Louis Architectural Club in 1903 and was succeeded 
 in 1904 by Mr. Watson. Mr. Hirsch is a Past President of the St. Louis Chapter, American 
 Institute of Architects. 
 
 By 1910 the School of Architecture at Washington University had eleven students above the 
 Freshman Class, as contrasted with the three students in the entire school which had been the 
 enrollment at the beginning nine years before. In that year Professor John Beverly Robinson 
 succeeded Professor Frederick M. Mann as the head of the School. Born in New York State on 
 June 10, 1853, John Beverly Robinson had received his education at Columbia College, New York 
 (lacer Columbia University) during the years 1869 to 1872. He began the practice of architecture 
 in New York City during the late ’Seventies; and in 1882 he entered into the partnership of Thayer 
 & Robinson which continued until 1897. In 1885 he served as President of the Architectural 
 League of New York; and in 1888 he was elected for the second time. From 1897 until 1910 
 he was Deputy Commissioner of Public School Buildings in the City of New York, coming from 
 that position to his work at Washington University. In 1899 he wrote ‘Principles of Architectural 
 Composition” and in 1908 he published another book which bore the ticle “Architectural Compo- 
 sition’. He was a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects; and having reached the age 
 limit for professors in 1916, he was retired by the University. In that same year he published his 
 “Economics of Liberty’’. Professor Robinson was a lecturer at the St. Louis Architectural Club from 
 
 1914 to 1916. 
 
 New names appearing among the practicing architects in 1910 were those of George F. A. 
 Brueggeman in St. Louis and Keene & Simpson in Kansas City. Mr. Brueggeman was born and 
 reared in St. Louis and was graduated from the School of Architecture at Cornell University in 
 the Class of 1895. He obtained his practical experience in the offices of Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge; 
 Mauran, Russell & Garden; and Eames & Young. He is a Fellow of the American Institute 
 of Architects. 
 
 The firm Keene & Simpson, composed of A. S. Keene and L. B. Simpson, has to its credit a 
 large amount of work covering the eighteen years of its existence, and Mr. Simpson is now President 
 of the Architectural League of Kansas City. 
 
 A distinct addition was made to the Faculty of the School of Architecture at Washington Uni- 
 versity in 1911 when Professor Charles Abella was appointed Professor of Design. During his student 
 days at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Professor Abella had secured seven medals for conspic- 
 uously meritorious work; and he had the faculty of making himself popular with the students. 
 He remained at Washington University until 1914, and at the time he left, there were forty-five 
 students in the School, which was twice the enrollment of 1910-11. 
 
 Gains are always offset by losses. In 1911 Professor Halsey C. Ives, who had played a large 
 part in the development of art appreciation in Missouri, died very suddenly in London, England 
 while on a visit there. A native of New York State, he had been in the service of the Government 
 during the Civil War as a draftsman, and while on duty at Nashville, Tennessee, became acquainted 
 with a group of young Union soldiers from Livingston County, Missouri. When the War was 
 ended, they persuaded him to return to Missouri with them and he established a studio in Chillicothe. 
 He found some customers for his pictures, and in 1867, when the North Methodist Church was 
 built in Chillicothe, he painted the altar-piece for the new building. The old North Methodist 
 Church was a brick structure, very similar in form to the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church in 
 St. Louis, illustrated on Page 41. It was torn down in 1903. 
 
 [122] 
 
After two or three years in Chillicothe, young Mr. Ives took an extensive trip through the 
 Southwest, visiting a part of Mexico. In 1870 he came to St. Louis and obtained a position in 
 the O’Fallon Polytechnic Institute as an instructor in drawing. His real opportunity came when 
 he made the acquaintance of Wayman Crow, a prominent man in St. Louis at that time, and one 
 of the founders of Washington University. When Mr. Crow erected the Memorial to his son, 
 Wayman Crow, Jr., in 1881, Mr. Ives was placed in charge of the Museum of Fine Arts and the 
 School that was conducted there. It was in that School that many of the early architects in Sc. 
 Louis and other parts of the Middle West received their instruction in drawing, as there was no 
 school of architecture in Missouri at that time. 
 
 When the Sc. Louis School of Fine Arts moved to the new campus of Washington University, 
 in 1905, Professor Ives continued as the head of the School. In 1893 he was the Director of the 
 Fine Arts Department at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago; and held the same posi- 
 tion at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis in 1904. He was the founder of the 
 Museum of Fine Arts in Forest Park, Saint Louis, and the memorial to him which stands in that 
 building was unveiled by his daughter, Miss Caroline Lackland Ives, in 1914. 
 
 The following year, 1912, St. Louis suffered another loss among the ranks of men who had 
 been conspicuous in the cultural life of the City. Louis Clemens Spiering was born in St. Louis 
 on May 8, 1874 and was graduated from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, France in 1902. 
 Returning to St. Louis, he had entered into all the activities that he felt would make life in this 
 City more attractive. He designed the building for the Artists’ Guild, on Union Avenue; and 
 was also the architect of Sheldon Memorial, the home of the Ethical Culture Society in Saint Louis. 
 He gave the aspiring young architects of the City the benefit of his splendid education by serving 
 as Patron of the Atelier at the Saint Louis Architectural Club up to the time of his death. After 
 his death, his mother, Mrs. Theresa Bernays Spiering, established the Spiering Prize, to be awarded 
 annually to young architects by the Beaux Arts Society of America. The prize was won by Marcel 
 Boulicault, in 1915, when he was a student in the Atelier of the Club. 
 
 By 1912 another new firm of architects had been added in St. Louis. John J. Roth, a native 
 of St. Louis and a graduate of the School of Architecture at Washington University, entered into 
 partnership about that time with Guy Study, who had returned to St. Louis from several years’ 
 study in France,—the firm being known as Roth & Study. Mr. Study, who was born and reared 
 in Richmond, Indiana, received his early education in architecture at Washington University, St. 
 Louis, but before finishing there, went abroad and decided to continue his studies at Atelier Laloux, 
 in Paris. The partnership of Roth & Study continued until 1915, when Mr. Roth moved to 
 California. Mr. Study practiced alone for a year, and then entered into partnership with Benedict 
 Farrar. The firm Study & Farrar has continued down to the present time. 
 
 Following the death of Mr. Spiering, in 1912, Mr. William D. Crowell was Patron of the 
 Atelier at the St. Louis Architectural Club for a short time, and was succeeded by Mr. Guy Study 
 who supervised the work there from that time on to 1916, when the Atelier was merged with the 
 School of Architecture at Washington University. 
 
 In 1914 Mr. Theodore C. Link of St. Louis, mentioned frequently in the previous Chapter, 
 entered into partnership with Mr. Wilbur T. Trueblood under the firm title Link & Trueblood. 
 Mr. Trueblood, a native of St. Louis, had received his education ac Columbia University in New 
 York andat Atelier Duquesne in Paris. He served as President of the St. Louis Architectural Club 
 in 1906. 
 
 Another one of Columbia’s students who became prominently identified with the profession 
 in St. Louis in 1914 was Lawrence Hill, of the Class of 1901. He came here that year as Professor 
 
 F123] 
 
of Architectural History at Washington University and has continued as one of the most capable 
 and highly respected members of the Faculty down to the present time. 
 
 Missourians played a conspicuous part in the calendar of architectural events in 1915. The 
 Panama-Pacific Exposition held in San Francisco in that year made a decided departure from the 
 traditional scheme of exposition buildings by the intelligent use of color in its buildings. The 
 Director of Color in that enterprise was Jules Guerin who was born and reared in St. Louis, and 
 who was mentioned in the previous Chapter in connection with the home of the St. Louis Arch- 
 tectural Club. Some of the most beautiful buildings at the Exposition were the work of Louis C. 
 Mullgarde, another native of Missouri and formerly a member of the profession here in St. Louis. 
 
 It was the natural thing for the American Institute of Architects to hold their National Con- 
 vention in San Francisco that year; and the National President elected at that convention was John 
 Lawrence Mauran, of St. Louis, who served from then on to 1918. 
 
 While the year 1916 saw several new and handsome buildings erected in St. Louis, the Presi- 
 dential election and the hovering clouds of war made that season a quiet and inconspicuous one 
 for architects. 
 
 The closing year of this Chapter brought out one of the paradoxes of human history. Whereas 
 in 1907 new churches were being built and the nations of the world had their eyes directed to the 
 Peace Conference at The Hague; in 1917 a world war was raging, and beautiful churches that had 
 been the admiration of civilized men for centuries were being used as targets for the implements 
 of destruction.

 9's Chapter, like Chapter II, begins with a year that saw the ending of a long, bloody war. 
 A few buildings were completed during 1917 and 1918, but, generally speaking, the 
 architects not enlisted in the service had little professional work to do; and activities in 
 
 the St. Louis Architectural Club were confined to the business of keeping the organization alive. 
 
 The War-time President of the Club was Angelo B. M. Corrubia who had come to America 
 from Italy while quite young and obtained his early education in architecture at Washington 
 University, St. Louis. Graduating there in 1911, he pursued his studies further at Massachusetts 
 Institute of Technology, receiving his Master’s Degree from the eastern school in 1913. After 
 teaching for two years in the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois, he came to 
 St. Louis and entered into partnership with Frank M. F. Cann, who had been graduated from 
 Washington University in 1913. 
 
 Mr. Cann succeeded Mr. Corrubia as President of the St. Louis Architectural Club, but did 
 not finish his term because of his enlistment in the Navy. He was succeeded by the First Vice- 
 
 President, H. H. H. Lynch. 
 
 The firm Jamieson & Spearl dates from 1918 although Mr. James P. Jamieson, the senior 
 member, has been a prominent architect in Saint Louis since 1900. In that year he came to this 
 City as the representative of Cope & Stewardson, of Philadelphia, who had won the competition 
 for the new buildings of Washington University. In 1914 Cope & Stewardson discontinued their 
 St. Louis office, and Mr. Jamieson succeeded them as architect for the Washington University 
 Corporation. He continued alone until 1918 when Mr. George Spearl became his partner. Mr. 
 Jamieson is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and a Past President of the St. Louis 
 Chapter of the Institute. 
 
 Of the younger architects mentioned for the first time in this Chapter, at least sixteen served 
 either in the Army or Navy during the World War; and of course a very large number of those 
 men who are employed in the various offices as draftsmen today were then in the service of the 
 Government. They have all earned the title that is above that of any profession,—Citizen of 
 the United States—and will always have the satisfaction of knowing that their service to the 
 Government came at a time when Missourians played more conspicuous parts in national and 
 international affairs than at any other time in the century of our Statehood. The General who 
 led the American Expeditionary Forces, John J. Pershing, was born and reared at Laclede, in Linn 
 County; the Chief Signal Officer of the A. E. F. was Brigadier-General Edgar Russell, formerly 
 of Breckenridge, Caldwell County; the Representative of the United States on the Inter-Allied 
 Munitions Council in Paris was Edward R. Stettinius, who was born and reared in St. Louis; 
 the Ambassador to Russia during those trying days was David R. Francis, formerly Governor of 
 Missouri and formerly Mayor of St. Louis. On the submarine-infested seas the Assistant Chief 
 of Naval Operations was Admiral Robert E. Coontz, who was born and reared at Hannibal, 
 Marion County. Early in 1919 he was elevated to the higher rank of Chief of Naval Operations. 
 Here in the United States the stupendous task of drafting and selecting the men for the Army 
 was placed on the shoulders of Brigadier-General Enoch Crowder, who was born and reared at 
 Trenton, Grundy County; the Assistant Postmaster-General of the United States then was Alexander 
 M. Dockery, of Gallatin, Daviess County; and the Secretary of Commerce in President Wilson’s 
 Cabinet was Joshua W. Alexander, also of Gallatin. 
 
 Immediately after the close of the War, the School of Architecture at Washington University 
 took on such activity as it had never known before. Not only were there those who returned from 
 the service to finish their courses, but the large number of vocational students, supported by the 
 
 bas i | 
 
Government, who swelled the enrollment. The new head of the School, Professor Gabriel Ferrand, 
 had been appointed Professor of Design in the summer of 1914, but his service in the French Army 
 during the War delayed his entering upon his duties in St. Louis. He was granted a leave of 
 absence by the University during that time. A native of Toulouse, France, Professor Ferrand bears 
 the ticle ““Architecte Diplomé du Gouvernement Francais” and from 1908 to 1910 he was Assistant 
 Professor in Charge of Design at the School of Architecture, Carnegie Institute of Technology in 
 Pittsburgh. From 1910 to 1914 he was Associate Professor in Charge of Design at the same 
 Institution. The enrollment in the School of Architecture at Washington University has grown 
 steadily since he came here and during the school year now drawing to a close there have been 
 one hundred and twenty students enrolled in that Department. 
 
 Another member of the Faculty of the School of Architecture in Washington University who 
 has not been previously mentioned is Professor Holmes Smith. His connection with the University 
 ante-dates the founding of the School of Architecture for he has been Instructor in Free-Hand and 
 Water Color Drawing since the days when the School of Fine Arts was located at Nineteenth and 
 Locust. Graduates of the School of Architecture speak of no one at the University in more glowing 
 terms than of him; and in addition to his own personal traits, Professor Smith has the distinction 
 of being a son-in-law of the late Doctor William G. Eliot, who was one of the founders of Wash- 
 ington University and its third Chancellor. 
 
 Additional members of the Faculty in the School of Architecture are Professor Paul Valenti 
 who holds the Degree of ‘Professor of Architecture’ from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 
 Milan, Italy and who also bears the title “‘Architecto Diplomato del Governo Italiano’’; Austin 
 A. Fitch who was graduated from Washington University in 1912 and received his Master’s 
 Degree from the School of Architecture at Harvard University; and Robert C. Duncan, who was 
 graduated from Washington University and later received his Master’s Degree from the same 
 school. Professor Lawrence Hill has been mentioned in the previous Chapter. Still another mem- 
 ber of the Faculty is Victor Holm, Sculptor, who instructs the students of architecture in the art 
 of modeling. 
 
 The Alumni of the School of Architecture at Washington University are now scattered from 
 coast to coast. In New York there are Hugh Ferris, George Maguolo and Lusby Simpson; in 
 in Dallas, Texas, Ralph Bryan has been a leader in the Dallas Architectural Club and has served 
 as President of that organization; in Los Angeles there are John J. Roth, Roy S. C. Price, Wilfrid 
 Verity and Charles Verity. 
 
 In St. Louis among the graduates who are forging to the front are F. Ray Leimkuehler, 
 Clemens Nicholas, Daniel J. Carroll, Alfred H. Norrish and Charles M. Gray. All these St. Louis 
 
 men have served the St. Louis Architectural Club in various offices. 
 
 In the early part of the year 1919 Henry F. Hoit, the successor of Howe & Hoit in Kansas City, 
 entered into partnership with Edwin M. Price and Alfred E. Barnes,—the new firm bearing the title 
 Hoit, Price & Barnes. They have continued together since that time. 
 
 In the autumn of that same year the new firm of Ewald & Allen in St. Louis was formed. The 
 senior member, Mr. Lawrence Ewald, had been practicing in St. Louis for twenty years but Mr. 
 Samuel H. Allen had just received his Diploma from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris in June of 
 that year. Mr. Allen’s six-year course at the Ecole had been interrupted by two years’ service in the 
 Army of the United States during the War. From 1920 to 1923 he was Instructor in Design at the 
 Atelier of the St. Louis Architectural Club; and in 1924 he was elected to Honorary Membership in 
 the Club in recognition of his services to the school.

In February, 1923, the City of Saint Louis took a long step forward by passing the Eighty- 
 Seven Million Dollar Bond Issue to cover civic improvements. That election marked the final 
 victory of a faithful group of citizens who through a period of nearly twenty-five years had been 
 urging some of the very projects finally approved by the voters. As early as 1899 the Sc. Louis 
 Architectural Club had held exhibitions of drawings showing the possible and needed civic improve- 
 ments, including a plaza in front of the Union Station; another plaza facing the City Hall, widened 
 streets; new public markets; new hospitals; new centers for recreation; a monumental approach to 
 Eads’ Bridge; and a Viaduct carrying Kingshighway across the railroad tracks in the Mill Creek 
 Valley. Those drawings were exhibited at the old Museum of Fine Arts at Nineteenth and Locust, 
 and were published in the Club’s catalogues during the years 1899, 1900 and 1901. The preceptor 
 of the young architects of that day was Albert Guissart, who had come to Saint Louis from Paris, 
 France, at the time of the City Hall Competition. The Editor of the Club’s catalogues in those 
 years was Samuel L. Sherer, who is now Director of the St. Louis Museum of Fine Arts. The city 
 officials and the staid business men of that day gave little encouragement to the young architects in 
 their campaign for such improvements. However some of the young lawyers and other men imbued 
 with civic pride did join the movement; and although defeated at the polls several times when the 
 various projects came up for a vote, they persisted and finally were victorious. 
 
 The month of April, 1923 marked the passing of a man who had for many years been promi- 
 nently identified with civic improvements. As a young man George Edward Kessler had gone to 
 Kansas City, and when the first Park Board was organized there, he was appointed Landscape 
 Architect, a position which he held during the remaining thirty-two years of his life. During those 
 years Kansas City attracted national attention by building an elaborate system of boulevards and 
 parks under the direction of Mr. Kessler, and when the Louisiana Purchase Exposition was being 
 planned in St. Louis, Mr. Kessler was appointed Landscape Architect for that enterprise. After 
 the Fair, he restored Forest Park and also served on the City Plan Commission in St. Louis for 
 several years. In 1921 the University of Missouri bestowed upon him the Honorary Degree, 
 Doctor of Laws. 
 
 The twelfth of November, 1923 marked the passing of two men prominently identified with 
 the profession of architecture in Saint Louis. On that date Professor John Beverly Robinson died 
 suddenly at his home in St. Louis; and Theodore Carl Link passed away at Baton Rouge, Louisiana 
 where he was engaged on a large commission. Of Mr. Link’s three sons, two are now living, 
 and Edwin C. is engaged in the practice of architecture in St. Louis. 
 
 After the passing of Theodore C. Link, his former partner, Wilbur T. Trueblood, entered 
 into partnership with Hugo K. Graf, who was graduated from the School of Architecture ac 
 Washington University in 1911, and served as President of the St. Louis Architectural Club in 1914. 
 
 At Jefferson City, on October 6, 1924 the most important architectural commission in the 
 history of Missouri was completed. On that date the new State Capitol was dedicated in the 
 presence of a very large gathering that assembled in front of the Capitol steps and listened to speeches 
 by Arthur M. Hyde, then Governor of Missouri, and four of his predecessors. The event marked 
 the passing of thirteen and one-half years from the time that lightning struck the dome of the old 
 Capitol, during the Administration of Governor Hadley, and started a disastrous fire. 
 
 As the result of an admirably conducted competition, national in scope, Messrs. Tracy & 
 Swartwout of New York were chosen as Architects for the new Capitol, and the building was 
 first occupied during the Administration of Governor Gardner. The members of the Missouri 
 State Capitol Commission appointed during Governor Hadley’s term of office and serving until 
 the completion of the building were Edwin W. Stephens, Alfred A. Speer, Joseph C. A. Hiller 
 
 [ 183 ] 
 
and Theodore Lacaff. Afrer the completion of the building the Missouri Scate Capitol Decoration 
 Commission was appointed, its members being Mrs. W. R. Painter, John W. Pickard, W. K. Bixby, 
 Arthur Kocian and J. F. Downing. Their work of decorating the interior of the building was 
 completed in 1924; buc the fountains in the Capitol Grounds and the statue of Thomas Jefferson 
 at the front of the building were not put in place until the summer of 1927. 
 
 Almost eighty-eight years to the day from the time that the first pretentious theater west of 
 the Mississippi was opened at Third and Olive Streets in St. Louis (See Page 25) the Garden 
 Theater in St. Louis County was completed, and the first offering there was the ancient Greek 
 tragedy, ‘Electra’ with Miss Margaret Anglin in the leading role. The Garden Theater was 
 builc by Mr. Flint Garrison of St. Louis, and designed by Mr. John C. Stephens, St. Louis Architect, 
 who is another Past President of the St. Louis Architectural Club. That one of the more remote 
 cities of America has a record of eighty-eight years’ continuous support of classic productions may be 
 news to many persons who are more familiar with the political and military facts of Missouri than 
 any other phase of our State history. It is probably not an exaggeration to assert that Missouri has 
 given greater financial encouragement to the theater over a long period of time than has any other 
 State west of New York. When St. Louis had a population of less than twenty thousand, Messrs. 
 Ludlow & Smith were able to raise the sum of seventy thousand dollars for the building of the Sc. 
 Louis Shakespearean Theater which was opened in July, 1837. In later years Benedict DeBar’s 
 Opera House in Sc. Louis had the support of all the substantial citizens. It must be remembered 
 too that in 1837, and still later, some of the older Eastern cities, notably Philadelphia, gave liccle 
 encouragement to the theater, deeming it an immoral institution. 
 
 Very shortly after the close of the Civil War Colonel Kersey Coates invested one hundred 
 thousand dollars in the Coates Opera House in Kansas City; and in the ’Seventies, when Mrs. 
 Mary Gilliss Troost died in that City, her will provided funds for the erection of the Gilliss Opera 
 House, the proceeds from that House to go to charity. Shortly after the completion of the Gilliss, 
 Colonel George Warder invested more than one hundred thousand dollars in the building of the 
 Warder Grand Opera House in Kansas City, which was said to be at that time the largest theater 
 in the West. Then the Tootle family of St. Joseph eclipsed all the Kansas City play-houses by 
 building the Tootle Opera House in St. Joseph. 
 
 A recent letter from Mr. E. H. Sothern, in answer to an inquiry regarding the support that 
 his productions got in Missouri, states that during the season of 1912-13, when he and Miss Marlowe 
 presented Shakespearean plays in twelve American cities, the largest receipts for any one week were 
 those resulting from their engagement in St. Louis during the middle of March; and the second 
 best week was the one in Kansas City. The other cities included in that season’s tour were 
 Providence, Baltimore, Washington, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit, 
 Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Thus it will be seen that this State has been generous not only in 
 providing the buildings for theatrical uses, but in supporting the players too. 
 
 The year 1925 saw the passing of two more well-known architects in St. Louis. On Septem- 
 ber 8th, Ernest Helfensteller, of the firm Helfensteller, Hirsch & Watson, died suddenly; and on 
 November 30, Albert B. Groves also succumbed to heart failure. The eldest of his two sons, 
 Theron A. Groves, is now a practicing architect in St. Louis. 
 
 In 1926 Mr. George Fox Steedman and Mrs. Alexander Weddell established the James 
 Harrison Steedman Memorial Fellowship in Architecture, the competition for this Fellowship to 
 be held in the spring of each year under the guidance and control of The Governing Committee, 
 composed of Louis LaBeaume, Gabriel Ferrand and John Lawrence Mauran, and the School of 
 Architecture at Washington University. 
 
 [ 184 ] 
 
This Fellowship is founded in memory of James Harrison Steedman, M. E. Washington 
 University, Class of 1889, First Lieutenant U. S. Naval Reserves, Assistant Engineer Officer 
 U.S. S. Oklahoma in 1917 and 1918, who at the age of fifty, suffering from a malady curable 
 only by rest, refused to quit his post and knowingly made the great sacrifice. 
 
 The value of the Fellowship is represented by an annual award of Fifteen Hundred Dollars, 
 to assist well qualified architectural graduates to benefit by a year of foreign travel and study. Ic 
 is open on equal terms to all graduates in architecture of recognized architectural schools in the 
 United States, but the candidates must have had one year of practical work in the office of an 
 architect practicing in St. Louis, Missouri, and the age limit is thirty-one years. 
 
 A new firm appearing in St. Louis in 1926 was that of Aegerter & Bailey, composed of A. A. 
 Aegerter and Norman |. Bailey. Both Mr. Aegerter and Mr. Bailey have been members of the 
 St. Louis Architectural Club for many years and Mr. Bailey served as President of the Club in 1915. 
 
 In June 1926, word was received of Edward G. Garden’s death in Cleveland, Ohio; and in 
 December of that same year, Oscar Enders passed away at his home in Chicago. 
 
 Early in the year 1927 a new firm appeared on the roster of St. Louis architects. Eugene L. 
 Pleitsch and Robert M. Price entered into partnership then under the firm title of Pleitsch & Price. 
 Mr. Pleitsch received his education at Harvard University and was well known as a designer in 
 St. Louis before entering upon independent practice. From 1920 to 1925 he was designer in the 
 office of Preston J. Bradshaw, St. Louis Architect. He is a Past President of the St. Louis Archi- 
 tectural Club and at the present time is Secretary of the St. Louis Chapter, American Institute of 
 Architects.

 As a final word for the text of this book, some explanation of the prime motive in its prepa- 
 ration may be interesting. In recent years those people whose knowledge of American History 
 goes beyond the story of the Thirteen Original States and one version of the Civil War have come 
 to recognize that Missouri holds a distinctive position in the development of the West. It was 
 here that the thrift of the North and East met with the hospitality of the South, and mingling 
 in this new State that was then the borderland of civilization, the two widely varying types of 
 humanity produced leadership for the development of the vast group of Western States which 
 have been admitted to the Union during the past sixty years. Another purpose of the book has 
 been to demonstrate again the old fact that the story of any civilization is written best in its 
 architecture. The United States have not appreciated their architects in any such measure as have 
 other nations; and too long have held the notion that the best brains among American men have 
 always been engaged in political or military life. It has been the aim in publishing this volume to 
 credit every man who, at some time or another in the one hundred and seven years of our Statehood, 
 has made some notable contribution to the development of our profession in Missouri. A wide 
 search has been made for a photograph of Gabriel R. Paul, the first architect mentioned in the annals 
 of the State, and also for one of J. Willard Adams, the First President of the St. Louis Architectural 
 Club, but the search has been unavailing. The task of finding the names of the architects in con- 
 nection with the buildings illustrated in Chapter | was a tedious one. Old newspapers were of 
 little value, for they seldom mentioned the completion of buildings, and even when they did, the 
 architect’s name rarely appeared in print. An instance of the way an architect’s name is lost to 
 posterity is recorded in Col. William Switzler’s “Recollections of Boone County, Missouri’, 
 published in 1881. He states that the Boone County Court House was completed in 1847 and that 
 on the building there was placed a tablet bearing this inscription: “W. M. Winter, Architect, 
 
 [1852| 
 
L. Richardson, H. Keene and B. McAlester, Builders, William Jewell, Superintendent’’. Mr. 
 Switzler further states chat in later years William Jewell, who had become a prominent citizen of 
 Columbia, ordered the name of the architect erased; buc Mr. Switzler gives no reason for the act. 
 A fine touch of irony is added to the story by the fact that the building bore another inscription 
 which read: “‘O Justice, when expelled from other habitations, make this Thy dwelling place!’ 
 The hand of fate seems to have been against William Winter in Boone County. When the Com- 
 missioners for the first building at the University of Missouri advertised for designs, he furnished 
 one of the two drawings submitted, but lost the competition. 
 
 Slowly but surely the American public is beginning to accord proper recognition to the creators 
 of our architecture and allied arts. Last October, in Washington, D. C., the George G. Meade 
 Memorial was dedicated in the presence of a large and distinguished gathering of men and women. 
 At that ceremony Dr. Warren P. Laird, of the University of Pennsylvania, said in his introduction 
 of the Architects, Mr. Edward P. Simon and Mr. Grant M. Simon, and the Sculptor, Mr. Charles 
 Grafly: “No stream rises higher than its source; no work of art can be greater than its author. No 
 monument is revered by posterity unless it have inherent beauty, for man is intolerant of ugliness. 
 Therefore, if we would set up an enduring memorial, we must assure to it a quality that will make it 
 precious in its own right; for whatever the glory of the hero or the exaltation of spirit in those who 
 would do him honor, their tribute must in itself be fine if its message is to be carried through ages 
 to come; ages which may not know him but will accept our testimony in the light of our under- 
 standing of the nature and mission of Art.”’

Whe MNlied Crafts. 
 
 ee Appreciation 
 
 By Frank @W Choisel! 
 
 Chairman, Publicity Committee 
 
 The world is progressing. The preceding pages tell of the progress made in architecture in 
 Missouri during the past one hundred years. The fact that many of the older buildings appear in 
 this book is evidence of the appreciation of the good work of the past by the men who are doing 
 the good work of today. 
 
 The story told in these pages is one of continued progress with gradually increasing momentum. 
 Out of the stored knowledge and experience of the past the architecture of today has developed 
 step by step. The progress appeared slow at times, but when one remembers what we had archi- 
 tecturally thirty-four years ago,—when the St. Louis Architectural Club was organized—and what 
 we have today, it appears marvelous. 
 
 There have been many forces at work to bring about this condition; the increasing wealth of 
 the country has made possible the erection of more and better buildings. More and better archi- 
 tectural schools have enabled young men to gain knowledge of the profession, and a general 
 awakening of the public to the value of good architecture to a community, together with a better 
 understanding of architectural merit, has been an incentive to the architect and to the men in the 
 allied crafts to do bigger and better things. 
 
 We have often gazed in rapture at the cowering mass of some downtown structure, awed by 
 its stupendous proportions and, at the same time, charmed by its graceful lines; we have gone again 
 and again to feast our eyes and our souls on some architectural gem, some little out-of-the-way 
 church that completely satisfied our ideas of what that church should be architecturally. 
 
 As we viewed the increasing number of good architectural works the thought has been steadily 
 borne in upon us that we are very largely indebted for our wonderful progress in construction 
 methods to the men of the allied crafts. 
 
 The towering structure downtown was not even an architect’s dream until Bessemer found a 
 new and more economic method of making steel in great quantities and opened an enchanting 
 vista of structural possibilities to us. The chemists discovered how to make cement of uniform 
 quality in large quantities and gave to architecture another wonderful structural material. 
 
 The brick manufacturer has promptly met the architect’s wider and better understanding of 
 the use of that material by supplying what was wanted. 
 
 The men of the allied crafts have all along shown a willingness to co-operate with the architect 
 for the betterment of the building business. We know chat the architect who is successful today 
 has earned that success and is only getting his dues, and the same is true of the men in the allied 
 crafts. When we speak of the allied crafts, we mean not only the men who construct the building 
 and install the different materials and appliances, but the men who manufacture these materials. 
 
 To you who have enjoyed the history of the development of architecture in the great State of 
 Missouri, which we were enabled to spread before you through the courtesy and co-operation of 
 the men in the allied crafts, whose advertisements appear in the following pages, we ask that you 
 
 look through the remaining pages as carefully as you have perused the foregoing ones. You will 
 find them well worth-while. 
 
 Renew your acquaintance with and your appreciation of these men whose work is making 
 your work easier and more secure.

Carbon Dioxide ~= 
 Refrigerating Equipment 
 that 1s rea/ly satisfactory. 
 
 RCHITECTS, engineers and managers of theatres, hotels, 
 hospitals and other public institutions have long been waiting 
 for a refrigerating plant that would take advantage of the 
 
 safety features of the carbon dioxide system and at the same time be 
 easy to manage, smooth running and economical. 
 
 To meet fully this demand for a really satisfactory carbon-dioxide 
 plant, we have developed equipment of advanced design, embodying 
 the life-long experience of experts in this field. 
 
 The Frick Carbon-Dioxide Compressor is of the vertical single- 
 acting type—the design almost universally adopted for refrigerating 
 machines (since first applied by Frick Company in the early 80’s) 
 because of its safety, simplicity, and higher efficiency. 
 
 Compressor working parts are totally enclosed. Automatic force- 
 feed lubrication. Shaft stuffing-box has self-adjusting metallic 
 packing; oil sealed and gas-tight. 
 
 Extra long pistons extend into the crankcase, where they provide 
 a ‘“‘crosshead”’ surface, on suitable guides. Preheating of suction 
 gas reduced to a minimum. Connecting rods are forked to obtain 
 greater bearing area. Single or dual effect compression, to suit 
 requirements. Greater capacity with least horsepower. Complete 
 carbon-dioxide plant equipment equally perfected.

THE KEY TO 
 FIRESAFE 
 HOMES 
 
 A fireproof barrier 
 between the basement 
 and the living quarters 
 of a home will stop a 
 high percentage of resi- 
 
 dence fires. The con- 
 crete first floor provides 
 this barrier in practical 
 
 form. Competent archi- 
 tects and builders place 
 the additional cost of 
 this worth - while con- 
 struction at not more 
 than two per cent over 
 that of all-inflammable 
 materials.

 of moisture, chemical 
 reaction, cleavage strains 
 between plaster and its 
 support or merely from in-

 answer to the problem and

 Why You Should Specify 
 Complete Gas “Piping — 
 
 ODAY the stream of life flows fast. People demand com- 
 
 fort and convenience. Those who build want their homes 
 fitted with the most modern conveniences. That is why gas

 in the plans of the architect who would earn the praise of his 
 client. 7 7 7 Gas is the modern magical servant. Its use opens

 Indiana Limestone’s Part in 
 
 St. Louis 
 
 N this and the next page are shown 
 
 a few of the many fine buildings 
 in St. Louis constructed of Indiana 
 Limestone. Architects of St. Louis 
 buildings, like those of fine buildings 
 everywhere, have found in this beauti- 
 ful, light-colored natural stone their 
 finest medium of expression. 
 
 The beauty and permanence which 
 have made Indiana Limestone ideal for 
 buildings of monumental character are 
 making it popular now for all sorts of 
 commercial structures as well. The 
 Southwestern Bell Telephone Building 
 is but one conspicuous example. 
 
 The business world is rapidly learning that Indiana 
 Limestone contributes in dollars-and-cents way to the 
 revenue from a building constructed of it. Its beauty 
 attracts tenants. It rarely needs repairs. This means 
 lower upkeep. Its permanence enhances its loan value.

 brings new possibilities in architectural design 
 
 A departure of significance to architects is noted in the 
 styling of new plumbing fixtures by “Standard”. The 
 new lavatories and baths afford in4nitely greater play 
 for ingenious bathroom design. The new ‘Three 8’s”’ 
 sink, designed to fit under a deep window, provides new 
 possibilities in planning kitchens with added sunlight and 
 increased efficiency. The “Four-Way” Laundry Tray fur- 
 nishes new leeway in the planning of more effective and 
 more attractive laundry layouts. You are invited to see 
 these new designs at our Showrooms. The trademark 
 “Standard” is impressed in every fixture.

 The Pure Oil Building, at Wacker 
 Drive and Wabash Avenue, Chicago, 
 houses the hi i 
 a garage that stores cars on 24 floors. 
 
 It is a significant fact that 189 power 
 operated SECO freight elevator doors— 
 counterbalanced and truckable — were 
 selected to meet the unusual demands 
 of this most unusual building. 
 
 These 189 SECO Doors constitute 
 the largest installation of power oper- 
 ated freight elevator doors in the 
 United States. 
 
 The Security Fire Door Company, 
 makers of SECO counterbalanced freight 
 elevator doors, will welcome an oppor-

 We point with pride to the 
 fact that in the equipment of 
 this notable St. Louis building 
 Halsey Taylor Drinking Foun- 
 tains were specified to afford 
 the utmost in drinking con- 
 venience and sanitation. As 
 in so many of America’s no- 
 table new edifices, these foun- 
 tains add an individual touch 
 of art as well as utility.

Greetings... 
 
 American Institute 
 of Architects 
 
 We wish you a successful conven- 
 tion and trust that each member in 
 attendance will find much in the 
 proceedings to interest and inform. 
 It is the desire of this Bureau to 
 co-operate with the members of the 
 Institute, in every way possible, 
 toward the development of higher 
 standards of building design and 
 
 construction. 
 
 We recognize that professionally 
 trained and licensed architects are 
 best qualified by education and 
 experience to serve the needs of 
 home-builders and others in the 
 preparation of plans and specifica- 
 tions and in the supplying of profes- 
 sional service and counsel. It is our 
 fixed policy to emphasize this fact in 
 our advertising messages to the 
 
 public.

 OZALID Prints 
 
 OZALID Prints are printed the same as Blue 
 Prints but are developed dry with aqua ammonia 
 vapor. Not being washed, there is no shrinking. 
 They are True to Scale of the Original. 
 
 Easier to read, easier to produce, — and they last 
 indefinitely, as the sun does not affect them. 
 
 This booklet shows how OZALID can 
 be profitably adapted to your business 
 and suggests numerous advantageous 
 new uses for reproduction paper. 
 
 While at the convention in St. Louis, the 
 architects are invited to visit the 
 
 Ruckerts Architect’s & Supply Co.

MILLWORK

 IM 
 
 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 
 
 Millwork properly designed and fabricated is the crowning glory of the house. 
 
 Millwork of quality and character is not only charming and beautiful in itself but 
 creates atmosphere and lends distinction to a home. 
 
 Millwork is architectural woodwork and always genuine. No attempt with respect 
 to it has ever been made to imitate other building material. 
 
 Millwork and fine woodwork generally is one of the chief features of interior 
 decoration and of limitless possibilities. 
 
 Millwork has endless charm and is of infinite variety. There is a wood for every 
 purpose and which can be fashioned into every form that delights the eye and 
 warms the heart of man. Poets have sung its praises and artists have attempted 
 to portray the beauty of its lustre and its sheen. 
 
 Millwork properly designed and carefully selected becomes in the hands of the 
 architect an expression of unexcelled beauty. Like old wine, it ripens into a richer 
 flavor with the passing years and its charm not only remains but increases with 
 the flight of time. 
 
 Millwork to give satisfaction and produce the results desired by the architect 
 must not only be carefully designed for the purpose intended but the right kind of 
 wood should be selected for the use to which it is to be put. And, most important 
 of all, it must be wrought by skilled artisans whose intelligence appreciates the 
 excellence and whose hands love the touch of wood, the wrought substance of 
 which becomes almost sacred to those who understand and appreciate its loveliness 
 and its beauty.

 From the moment you step into a Westinghouse K & H elevator in any of the above buildings 
 until you leave, you will have electricity converted into comfort and convenience thru the medium 
 of apparatus that is Westinghouse designed. 
 
 Specialists from our St. Louis office are at the service of the architect and the engineer in the planning

The 
 
 “Livable Building” 
 Portfolio 
 
 sells new homes and 
 home improvement 
 
 This 64 page Portfolio issued by The Celotex 
 Company is a complete Dramatized Story of 
 Insulation, in picture form. 
 
 It is designed for use by architects. It explains 
 the modern insulation idea, briefly and pictorially, 
 to their customers. 
 
 The entire story is told in pictures, with but few 
 words of incidental legend. Architects who are 
 now using this portfolio state that it is an 
 extremely effective and practical help in selling 
 the idea of better-built homes to home buyers, and 
 in encouraging remodeling and home improve- 
 ment. Permit us to send you copies of their 
 interesting letters. 
 
 The portfolio is available to architects through 
 the courtesy of their local retail lumber dealers. 
 Each copy is gold stamped with the name of the 
 architect who receives it. 
 
 Your letter to us, will bring you full information 
 covering the remarkably productive service this 
 book will render.

 BURKE-STONE can be used. Not only will depreciation 
 
 on your building be lessened but far greater economy 
 
 will prevail. It can and should be used in every type of

 Finished Plastering Costs 
 Prove its Economy! 
 
 UE to its distinctive arch con- 
 struction, Wheeling Arch Lath 
 grips the plaster from many angles, 
 providing a perfect key. Only the 
 correct amount of plaster is permitted 
 to squeeze through the openings! 
 Because of perfect keying qualities 
 and rigidity of sheet, the plasterer 
 can follow almost immediately with 
 the second coat. It is not necessary 
 
 to remove scafiolds after each coat as 
 in the case with many types of lath. 
 This saving is more than equivalent 
 to the time and material entering into 
 one coat of plaster. No other lath 
 on the market costs so little to erect. 
 
 You should have all the facts as 
 well as a sample of the product for 
 close-up inspection. Send for them 
 today!

 The absolute precision now required in sanitary engineering 
 has caused the adoption of Watrous flush valves and Duojet 
 closets for many of the best known of America’s most 
 recently erected structures. Wherever installed, they have 
 contributed materially to correct sanitation and reduction 
 
 of operating cost.

THE NEW RENAISSANCE 
 
 IN METAL 
 
 DOORS AND TRIM 
 FOR STATELY INTERIORS 
 
 Section of elevator bay in the New York 
 County Court House. Note how the Art 
 Metal doors and trim harmonize with the 
 
 almost severe lines of this hall. 
 
 How Art Metal carries 
 
 out a decorative scheme 
 
 In the law library of the New York County 
 
 Court Ilouse, leather and cloth bindings 
 need the warmer setting of walnut—yet 
 
 these Art Metal book stacks will outlast any 
 
 wood, and never chip or crack. 
 
 braries and public build- 
 ings all over the country 
 are turning to Art Metal 
 
 in beautiful, lasting hol- 
 
 low metal equipment 
 
 ARMONY in detail is never so important as 
 
 in the interior decoration of public build- 
 ings. There, dignity is achieved through simplic- 
 ity, and even the slightest false note is doubly 
 jarring. 
 
 It was to insure this perfect harmony that Guy 
 Lowell, architect, specified Art Metal doors, trim, 
 and other metal equipment for the stately New 
 York County Court House. It was necessary that 
 every detail of this impressive building should 
 carry out the dignified effect which they had 
 planned. 
 
 For the same reason, architects of banks, li- 
 
 Door of justices’ private elevator, showing the 
 
 simple, dignified design. 
 
 for every type of hollow 
 metal equipment. They 
 know that their specifica- 
 tions will be followed ex- 
 actly in every detail, and that the finished instal- 
 lation will produce just the effect they hoped for. 
 
 Another reason is that, by specifying Art Metal, 
 they can be sure of getting the finest product of 
 the metal worker’s craft. All the experience of 
 forty years goes into the making of every Art 
 Metal job. Once installed, it lasts as only ageless 
 steel and bronze can last. And time never mars 
 its dignified beauty. 
 
 This is the intelligent, careful service that Art 
 Metal is rendering to architects. We shall be glad 
 to consult on any type of installation—complete 
 or partial. A letter will bring a representative.

 WEATHERSTRIPPED 
 
 Brick Installation 
 
 Weathering— 
 
 The standard continuous two 
 Point contact is used on this sash 
 and for those who desire the best an 
 extra contact is made by using spring 
 bronze weatherstripping. This fea- 
 ture makes the sash absolutely tight 
 under the most trying conditions. 
 The weatherstripping is so attached 
 that it cannot come loose and yet 
 may easily be applied after the sash 
 is in the building. Futhermore it 
 gives a soft cushioning effect when 
 the ventilator is being closed which 
 saves vibration and jarring and 
 means longer life to the installation 
 asawhole. It is neatin appearance 
 
 and positive in action,

 Construction— 
 
 Every joint is securely welded. 
 There are no rivets to wear loose or 
 break off. A walling in flange of 1” 
 inch is provided all around the sash 
 giving solid anchorage and acting 
 as a wind break. The ventilator is 
 so constructed as to be glazed on 
 either the inside or outside when ¥% 
 plate or double strength is used and 
 inside glazing when heavier or lead- 
 ed glass is required. In the latter 
 case glazing beads are furnished and 
 since they are on the inside they will 
 always be clean and accessible for 
 repair. Horizontal and _ vertical 
 mullions have no bolts or rivets 
 and are an integral part of each 
 unit. The details bring out this 
 point.
