Description	The ceiling over the magnificent main stairway in the Woman's Magazine Building was painted by artist Ralph Chesley Ott. The ornamental plaster work was done by James White of St. Louis, and the bronze and mahogany railing on the stairway and around the second floor balcony was created by Windslow of Chicago. The circle in the center of the ceiling mural is actually the bottom of the chandelier.
