| 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 northeast on September 4, 1909 the decorative railing has been installed around the west balcony, and much of the terra cotta molding has been placed on the front of the building. Concrete is being poured for the floor of the third story of the south wing. The sign for John J. Dunnavant & Co., contractors for the project, can be seen on the small building in the foreground. |
