I received this from the Dogtown list today and thought I would share it - Diane: From Bob Corbett The Missouri Historical Society owns several water colors done by Albert Muegge in the 1880. Cheltenham was growing and he wanted to picture the area as he remembered it being in the 1860s when he was growing up. His father, August was the postmaster and ran the post office and general store at the corner of Dale and Manchester. For ages we've wanted to get copies of these watercolors. Finally Nina Kassing Bryans and Duke McVey undertook that project and now we have both the digital copies (which I just place on my web page today) and framed photos of the watercolors themselves. Actually we have the five which are speciall relevant to the Dogtown area. They include a drawing lookup UP Tamm Ave. (looking north) from about I-44. That drawing has the ONLY drawing I've ever seen of the first St. James Church which was built in 1860 and burned in 1888. What we always called "the old church" was built in 1889 and taken down in the mid-1950s. The present main church was built in 1928. Another drawing has is looking along Tamm Ave. looking west, drawn from about Hampton Ave at West Park. Another is of the Sulphur Springs Hotel and medicinal bath which was just south of Manchester and Sulphur Ave. Enjoy this magnificent and critially important historical watercolors.
