Building of the Bell Telephone Co. of Missouri, St. Louis, MO, 1889, Orig Plan. Shepley, Rutan, & Coolidge.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Building of the Bell Telephone Company of Missouri in St. Louis, Missouri.  HAND-COLORED.  Shepley, Rutan, & Coolidge, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building News, Janaury 19, 1889.

This picture is extremely hard to find, as the American Architect and Building News not only had a very small circulation during that time, but very few were actually preserved or colored as this has been.  It measures 11.5 by 7.5 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 12 by 16 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with light browning along the edges and some light crinkling.
