Church of the Messiah, St Louis, MO, 1880, Peabody & Stearns, Original Plan

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Church of the Messiah, St. Louis, Missouri.  HAND-COLORED.  Peabody & Stearns, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, April 24, 1880.

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 13.25 by 8.75 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 16 by 12 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with very light browning and some minor crinkling.
