Partially Reviewed: Rough draft. I've gone through these pictures once, removing the worst ones, some duplication, etc. I usually take sequences of 4 or 5 pictures at a time and there are lots of near duplicates. I'll be doing a final review later which will cull the pictures down some. To be honest though, I'm way behind on doing final reviews.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific people (or other things) in the pictures which I haven't labeled, please identify them for the world. Or fill in any other descriptions you can. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.

Signage: You'll see a lot of signs in this group. Eventually, I'll type the text of the signs into the subject description and get rid of the signs themselves. This is pretty slow and tedious work though.
Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. OCOURI_180918_062.JPG: East Courtroom: The St. Louis Circuit Court met in this courtroom between 1857 and 1915. It is thought that this courtroom was in use by the time Dred and Harriet Scott were given their freedom by Taylor Blow on May 26, 1857. This important event probably took place in this courtroom. The position of the judge's bench, which probably dates to the 1880s, changed over the years. From 1858 to 1903, the bench was directly opposite the main entrance to the courtroom. It was moved to its present location in 1903. The small room in the far right corner was a jury room; the small room in the left corner was used for the judge's chambers and later for witnesses. The small, elaborate stand directly in front of you was for the bailiff, an officer who kept order in the courtroom. Circuit Court Division 13 met in the room from 1915 to 1930, when the courts moved out of the Old Courthouse to the St. Louis Civil Court Building at Market and 12th Street. In the 1930s, this room was used as a classroom for the St. Louis Art League. The courtroom was restored by the National Park Service in 1955 to represent its c. 1903 appearance.

4. OCOURI_180918_178.JPG: West Courtroom: This elegant courtroom served as the Court of Common Please from 1843 to 1865. It stands immediately above the room in which the Dred Scott case was heard in 1847 and 1850. The lower courtroom was divided by walls in 1855 because the ceiling above was structurally weak. Because of the 1855 alterations, the Dred Scott courtroom no longer exists, but we can get some impression of what it looked like from this courtroom. After 1865, this courtroom was used by Circuit Court Division 3, and in 1896 became Circuit Cort Division 4, a designation still painted on the glass transom above the door. Original furnishings in the room include the 1870 judge's bench, which was moved to its current location in 1903. The semicircular bar or balustrade in the middle of the room dates back to 1883.
Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.
