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. This photograph was taken looking northwest on November 10, 1909. The exterior of the building is complete, but windows have not been installed, and construction materials still surround the building.
