Greetings, Everyone! On KSDK, Channel 5 (NBC affiliate) News tonight there was a segment about a guy named Larry Giles who has collected many examples of buildings' facades and other building materials from demolished buildings in St. Louis and a few other cities. He and a man named Trampe (I think) are planning to build a 5-acre museum to house his collection plus. If you go to www.KSDK.com, there is a link to this project. It is called National Museum of Architectural Arts. Mr. Giles has several tons of old bricks too. Should be a very interesting museum with interactive things that people can actually make on site. Gloria

This is wonderful. My mother will be thrilled. She was one of the first women to graduate of Washington University of Architecture and also loves seeing the artistic parts of old buildings. (She gave up her career to raise my brothers and I.) And bricks too! I hope they do follow through with the "make your own decorative brick" idea. Scott K.

Bricks! I took many with me to NJ in 1976 (McGraw-Hill was paying for the move!) They were all name imprinted (different names). I' ll have to try to find them under my overgrown ivy!
