I was born in 1921 in the center of St Louis Missouri right smack in the middle of the good old U.S.A.
I would like to tell you the story of two men from a certain little town in Missouri. On a beautiful late spring afternoon in 1891 two men graduated from the same college.
They were very much alike Jermey Parnell Jaguars Jersey , these two young men. Both had been better than average students, both were personable and well liked. As young college graduates tend to be. They were filled with ambitious dreams of the future.
And on that graduation day with college diplomas in hand those young men set off from St Louis University to make their mark on the world. Some 30 years later they met at the dedication of a new building. This was a special moment because one of the men had designed and built this magnificent building for a very important client.
They were very much alike. Both were happily married. Both had three children. And both had gone to work as architects.
But one was a famous architect with completed projects in Chicago, New York, and the Missouri State Capital. The other still just a draftsman. The difference in the two men was not a difference of capacity but a difference in decision.
What made the Difference
One man trained himself to be the best architect he could be and leave a legacy through his work. His dream was to build buildings that would stand the test of time. The other was merely content with putting his work on paper.
My father was the man that put his ideas into action. He built something that would last many lifetimes; see many wars, live through the birth of a new century.
My father was Thomas P. Barnett the man who built this building at 3207 Washington Ave, St. Louis Mo. 63103. And he and assembled me with toned art glass of amber Zane Beadles Jaguars Jersey , blues, greens and reds. I am Conquistador. I have been watching over this building ever since my last piece of glass was set into place 87 years ago.
I am glad that Thomas P. Barnett put a lifetimes of craft and care in my building.
He died in 1930 but his life work lives on. I would like to tell you more about the building that has survived so strongly and steadfast. First of all let me tell you about me. I am the "Art Glass Window, Conquistador"

During the turn of the century era in St. Louis many firms used stained glass as an accent to their fine properties.

The building is a vintage 1920's office building build in the Art Deco Spanish Mission Style. Office building of Art Deco and Spanish Mission Style began springing up in the late 1800s and this style continues until the 1930's.
