Civil Tribunal Complex in St. Louis, 1928: Employees Constructing A Greek Revival Architectural Unit
If you think it’s Photoshopped, you are mistaken. The photograph shotted in 1928 shows workmen restoring a Greek architectural column. Two years later, the St. Louis Court structure was completed. The person responsible for the photo taken is called W.C Runder.
The design of the eye-catching structure, which has a tiered pyramid top and sculptures of griffins, was inspired by the tomb of King Mausolus. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the first building of its kind, was later recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world. As of 2022, the St. Louis facility is used by the 22nd Judicial Circuit in the state of Missouri.
