Saint Louis architecture and related ruminations including pioneer modern architect Harris Armstrong

Armstrong Architectural Office -- southeast corner
The overhang on the south elevation serves to protect the library and work room from the hot Saint Louis summer sun. Armstrong carved a channel into the base of the hillside to create the appearance of a stream flowing from behind his office.
Outside the back door, a punching bag hangs providing a means for letting off steam when necessary. Armstrong periodically had a bit of a temper.
