St. Louis Building Arts Foundation

One day last spring the gorgeous Lynn Josse allowed me to visit the St. Louis Building Arts Foundation library while it was housed in St. Louis.

It was overwhelming.
Wall-to-wall industrial shelving and hundreds of thousands of historic books. Antique bronze sculptures from an insurance company. Prints. Drawings. Photos. Magazines.


Fleeing a burning (brick) house.




The following is a series of photos from one of the many thousands of books in the library.
