STEEDMAN COLLECTION

The Steedman Architectural Collection at the St. Louis Public Library is a small
but remarkable library of influential and rare architectural publications.
Donated in 1928, it has grown through purchases and gifts from nucleus of 600 to
an impressive library of over 1500 titles. The express purpose of George
Steedman’s gift was to make these great works available to the local
architectural community, so that they would be inspired to create better
architectural work in St. Louis.

This online exhibit provides not only St. Louis architects, but also everyone
who visits it, with a glimpse inside a selection of the collection’s most
beautiful and important works. St. Louis Public Library hopes that you will
enjoy learning about some of the major architects, styles, and movements of
western architectural history through magnificent illustrations taken from the
collection itself. In fulfillment of the gift’s original purpose, we present
this rich and unique resource for your inspiration and study. Welcome to one of
the treasures of the St. Louis Public Library.
