JS Stewart Art Collections

California Mission Style Arches

This is a collection of art imagery depicting the arches of the Springfield, Missouri Frisco passenger railroad depot as it appeared in early 1977. The imagery is taken from a series of black and white photos made by JS Stewart in 1977 just days before the structure was torn down. The transformation from the original structure build in 1882 to the California adobe mission style stucco and brick structure was done in 1926.
