Someone out there must know what the story is behind this awesome geodesic dome. It fixes railcars, and that is all we could find out.
A Blog detailing the beauty of St. Louis architecture and the buildup of residue-or character-that accumulates over the course of time.
It is designed as a roundhouse, to rotate the trains and turn them around, it was designed by the same architect who did the Climatron at the Botanical gardens and he also designed a building at SIU-,Edwardsville campus, his name escapes me though
Murphy and Mackey? Inspired by Buckminster Fuller.
Yes , Buckmaster Fuller
Sorry, I meant Buckminster
I went through it in the ’60’s when I was a cub scout , it was pretty cool . We always called it the golf ball . lol
Dome needs cleaned up and painted. Has a lot of rust.
