I was trying to picture St. Paul and then remembered we’re living in the internet age, so I googled it and found a little picture at their home page (http://stpaulos.org/) and a history at http://stpaulos.org/History.htm. Looks like they’ve got two campuses now, so I wonder if the plan is to move completely to the new campus at some point.

I now have an incomplete list of his projects in Mississippi along with a short biography. While most of this information is probably not news to an expert like you Malvaney, I discovered that Lindsley joined the Louisiana Chapter of the AIA before the Mississippi Chapter was created. From 1923 to 1926, E. L. Malvaney was Lindsley’s Head Draftsman. Robert Cook Jones, Robert B. McKnight, and R. W. Naef also all worked for Lindsley during the 1920s. In 1924, Lindsley’s office was located in the Kress Building. By 1928, he had moved to the Lamar Life Building and in 1931, he was in the Tower Building (Standard Life Building). In 1927/28, Lindsley was listed as living with his wife and two children at the corner of S. Prentiss and N. Robinson. By 1934, he had relocated to Houston, Texas.

There is one building designed by Lindsley that is not on the list of projects provided to me at the MSU Special Collections. Constructed in 1929-30, 524 Greensboro St. in Starkville was not only designed by Lindsley but the current owners actually have the original architectural plans. These plans will be invaluable if anyone decides to restore this house as the current owners have “altered” its design. Unfortunately, the owners have not allowed the plans to be copied and made available to the public.

I would like to thank Mattie Sink at the MSU Special Collections for her efforts in gathering this material.
