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 20, 1909 the exterior walls of both wings are complete and most of the decorative terra cotta molding is in place. The sign for John J. Dunnavant & Co., contractors for the project, is on the building on the lower left. They were sharing space with the sales office for University Heights Realty and Development Co., another of Edward Gardner Lewis' ventures.
