The St. Louis Building Arts Foundation is a nonprofit organization which oversees the Larry Giles collection of more than 250,000 architectural artifacts and some 20,000 books, manuscripts, periodicals and trade catalogs relating to architecture and the allied arts (in addition to thousands of drawings and photographs). Our goal is to create a National Architectural Arts Center by the year 2020.

Most of our library is currently in storage. Our new facility, currently under construction, is in a rehabilitated foundry complex in Sauget, Illinois. For more information please visit our web site. In the meantime, as we discover interesting images we'll share them on Flickr!
