St. Joseph Museums

The St. Joseph Museums in St. Joseph, MO will purchase storage and shelving materials to house 20,000 blueprints that are part of the Edmund Eckel/Brunner Architectural Collection. These blueprints depict buildings designed by Edmund Eckel, one of the most significant architects in Missouri. Active from 1869 through 1934, his firm was responsible for the design of 75 percent of the buildings in the city of St. Joseph. Invaluable for architectural scholars as well as local historic preservation efforts, these blueprints will be made available for research on the rich built environment in Missouri.
