Description	The Art Academy Building was designed in the Classical Revival style by St. Louis architects Eames and Young for the People's University of the American Woman's League. At this stage in construction photographs were taken almost weekly to document the progress of the building. In this photograph taken looking west on September 1, 1909, second story exterior walls have been completed. Terra cotta moldings have been installed around the windows in the south wing, but the back wing would remain plainer with little ornamentation. The Creve Coeur Streetcar tracks are visible in the foreground.
