Joseph, I’m glad you brought this one back up because I had meant to add a few links to Theodore Link information and had forgotten.

Here’s one showing some of the Union Station interior: http://hereibe.homestead.com/TheodoreLink.html.

A blog post announcing an exhibit at the Landmarks Association of St. Louis about Theodore Link and his works: http://ecoabsence.blogspot.com/2009/11/theodore-link-exhibit-runs-through.html.

And the Landmark Association website with a bio of Link and information about the exhibit: http://www.landmarks-stl.org/news/images_from_the_work_of_theodore_link/ (Note: this link was working earlier but as of right now something seems to be wrong with it. Hopefully they’ll get it up again soon).

Very interesting. Neat to think all those buildings were designed in the same tradition as the New Capitol and St. Louis Union Station, both of which have some of the most stunning interiors I have ever seen.

Indeed! He also did a building for the Biloxi Yacht Club in 1902 that was later destroyed in a hurricane (I think Camille).

I think the Fine Arts Building is now called Bryant Hall. It was always one of my favorite buildings on campus.
