I aV I BUILDING. and opposite wide; tho smaller Is adjusted to the height of the flanking walls and connecting peristyle, and serves as a tie to bind the separate elements into one composition. As being quite In accord with the character and purpose of the building, it was determined to make a liberal ue of the sculptor's and painters' art, to soften the outline and bring out In greater contrast the severer forms of the architectural member. To this end the walls behind the columns of the porticos will receive a decorative color treatment, interesting in itself, and forcing into greater prominence their clnanlc outline. The conditions imposed by the purpoMos of the building preclude the use of windows in the side-walls, and, to avoid the monotony of unbroken wall services, ths device of breaking them with the sculptured border was adopted as most suitable, and as giving an opportunity to illUNtrate iu picturesque manner, the minor arts, which farnmh ths medium of expnmslou for the higher art of architecture. The sculptor is again called upon to crown the pediment and flanking buttreo with group and figures representing the various arts and holding out or those who win them, the emblems of success. The domes are low and of simple slmpo. but serve, together with the sculptured figures, to give a varied and picturesque sky-line aud fittingly crown the whole design. Thus In this building is attempted, not only the proper housing of the works of art collected from all the corners of the earth, but to rssert for Architec ture, her proper place among the other arts as being the resultant combination of thiim all. This magnificent building was designed by Eames V Young, Architects, St. IOlllS.
