Not at all correct experiment test only Completed works
William LaBarthe Steele (May 2, 1875 – March 4, 1949) was an important architect of the Prairie School during the early twentieth century. Best known for his Prairie School designs, Steele worked in a wide range of architectural styles, and over his career designed over 250 built commercial buildings, churches, synagogues, homes, schools, and government buildings in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota.
Architectural background
A graduate of the University of Illinois (18???–18???), Steele worked in the office of renowned architect Louis Sullivan in Chicago, Illinois (1897–1900). After Sullivan, Steele worked briefly for Solon S. Beman, also in Chicago (1900), before relocating to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to gain additional experience with three other architectural firms. With Thomas Rodd, Steele worked primarily on plans for a major British Westinghouse factory in Trafford Park, Manchester, England (1900–1901). With Alden and Harlow, Steele focused on the Carnegie Institute expansion plans, working closely with chief draftsman Howard K. Jones (1901–1902). Finally, Steele worked with Sidney F. Heckert, a fellow Catholic who specialized in ecclesiastical and educational architecture (1902–1904).[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Partnerships
Steele settled in Sioux City, Iowa in 1904 and did most of his work there. He first worked for Wilfred Warren (W.W.) Beach (1904–1905), and then the two briefly worked in partnership (1905–1906). The two dissolved the partnership in 1906 when Beach left Sioux City for a time, and Steele conducted a solo practice (1906–19?????). In 19????, Steele took on his chief draftsman, George B. Hilgers, as a partner (19????–1930). Although they completed their last commission in 1930, it appears that Steele and Hilgers did not legally dissolve their partnership, perhaps with the idea of doing later work that did not materialize.
In 1928 Steele formed a partnership with Thomas Rogers Kimball, an established Omaha-based architect with a national reputation, and little known Josiah Dow Sandham. Steele relocated to Omaha in 1929 to fully participate in the new partnership (1928–1946). Although Steele presumably foresaw increasing opportunities due to the larger market of Omaha and his association with a prestigious established architect, these did not materialize. Most architects found it hard to secure commissions during the Great Depression that began soon after his move, and Steele was no exception. In fact, Kimball was ruined financially. Kimball's declining health meant that Steele played an increasingly central role with what work the firm was able to garner, but in hindsight it's clear that his years in Sioux City were actually Steele's most productive.
Kimball died September 7, 1934, but Steele and Sandham continued to operate under Kimball, Steele & Sandham until 1946. Steele formed his final partnership in 1946, when he and Sandham added son William L. Steele, Jr. to form Steele, Sandham, and Steele (1946–1962). Steele's own deteriorating health forced him to curtail his involvement in the firm's work as the practice was picking up after World War II. Steele died on March 4, 1949, but the firm continued to operate under that name until 1962, when Alex Weinstein became a partner and the name changed to Steele, Sandham, and Weinstein.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
H&H Building [ ??? in some place known also as and American Express ??? ] | Sioux City 510-512 4th Street |
Iowa | 1905 | Beach & Steele H&H, or Harstad & Halseth Shoe Co, later Mazie's Women's Apparel, later Fourth Street Café. The new partnership of Beach & Steele had opportunities to design three choice downtown buildings in a row on Fourth Street as a result of the Pelletier Fire Disaster of 1904, Sioux City's worst fire, which burned down two entire blocks of downtown. The farthest east of these three buildings, the three-story H&H Building featured Sullivanesque terra cotta at the cornice.[7][8] Demolished 2003[7] |
|
Schulein Building | Sioux City 506-508 4th Street |
Iowa | 1905 | Beach & Steele Schulein Shoe Company, later Fantles Clothing Store. Another replacement building after the 1904 Pelletier Fire, and like the H&H Building adjacent to the east and the Purslow Building adjacent west, the Schulein Building was three stories and brick. The cornice featured horizontal bands of brick alternately jutting and recessed, a decorative element Steele would employ on his later Prairie School buildings such as the First Congregational Church (1916–1918) and Hartington City Hall and Auditorium (1921–1923).[7][8] <***ref for 1st Cong and for Hartington ***> Demolished 2003[7] |
|
Florence Crittenton Home | Sioux City 1105 28th Street |
Iowa | 1906 | Beach & Steele Added to the NRHP in 2000 Beuttler & Arnold designed the next door Maternity Hospital (1913) |
|
St. Michael's Catholic Church | Sioux City Southwest corner of 41st Street and Van Buren Street |
Iowa | 1907 | This parish church in the Leeds Neighborhood of Sioux City represents Steele's first commission from the Catholic Church. Demolished 1999 |
|
Hawarden First National Bank & Masonic Hall | Hawarden, Iowa 801 Central Avenue |
Iowa | 1907 | Now Farmers State Bank and Agency Steele designed this combined use building in a simplified Romanesque Revival style with hints of Prairie School.[9][10] |
|
St. Agnes Academy | Alliance 1104 Cheyenne Avenue |
Nebraska | 1908–1923 | Built in 3 sections, the first two have been demolished, while the 1923 north wing designed by Steele has been altered and a new parish center added to the south where the 1908 and 1910 sections were located. | BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB |
Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School | Butte 721 First Street |
Nebraska | 1909 | Added to the NRHP in 1992 Now the Butte Community Historical Center and Museum |
|
James P. Newton House and Maid Cottage | Sioux City 2312 Nebraska Street |
Iowa | 1909 | Added to the NRHP in 2000 The Newton House and tiny cottage behind it are in the American Craftsman style, but the hip roof and other elements at variance with customary Craftsman practice mark Steele's early use of Prairie School features that would be more coherent in the Ben and Harriet Schulein House (1913). |
|
Parker High School | Parker, South Dakota West First Street and North Spruce Avenue |
South Dakota | 1909–1910 (approx) | Steele's first commission in South Dakota may have involved the influence of his uncle Thomas J. Steele.[11] | BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB |
O. J. Moore House | Sioux City |
Iowa | 1909–1910 | Large and comfortable dwelling in a Colonial Revival style.[11] | |
William B. Palmer House | Sioux City |
Iowa | 1909–1910 | Compared to the Moore House, it is "less overtly revivalist and more horizontal in feeling with the story division, hipped roof, prominent overhang and windows grouped in banks."[11] | |
O. J. Moore Grocery Company Warehouse | Sioux City |
Iowa | 1910 | One of a number of warehouses built just north of the railroad tracks between the Missouri River and downtown Sioux City which are "straightforward expressions of purpose: solid and impregnable they state their function as the protection of goods."[11] | BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB |
Crane Company Warehouse | Sioux City 3rd and Jackson Streets |
Iowa | 1910 | Another utilitarian structure like the O.J. Moore Grocery Company Warehouse of the same year[11] Now demolished |
BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB |
Purslow Block | Sioux City 504 4th Street |
Iowa | 1910 (approx) | Like the nearby H&H Building and neighboring Schulein Building (both 1905), this was a replacement for downtown buildings that burned in the Pelletier Fire of 1904. The close resemblance of this narrow three-story brick commercial storefront to the Schulein Building immediately adjacent to the west makes it likely that Steele designed this one as well.[7][8] Also known as Magner and Walsh Demolished 2003[7] |
|
Remodeling of T.S. Martin Department Store | Sioux City 515-521 4th Street |
Iowa | 1911 | Added to the NRHP in 1998 Later Fishgall’s/S.S. Kresge Dime Store |
|
First National Bank | Sioux City |
Iowa | 1911 | Steele designed this Classical Revival style building for the newly merged bank resulting when the Iowa State National Bank bought out the First National Bank originally organized in 1867 by T. J. Stone. The new bank decided to use the name of the older establishment.<L.H. Henry in Arthur Francis Allen><p49 text and p50 photo in THREE QUARTERS of a CENTURY of PROGRESS> Now demolished |
BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB |
Shore Acres Boat Club | Sioux City 1401 Riverside Boulevard |
Iowa | 1911 | A member of the Commercial Men's Boat Club, Steele designed this to be built directly on the foundations of the 1905 building destroyed by fire earlier in 1911. Having both male and female members, the exclusive club's new home was the occasion for changing its name to Shore Acres Boat Club. Now the Sioux City Community Theatre, the building is located on the banks of the Big Sioux River just north of its confluence with the Missouri River. <see Word file> |
BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB |
Henry Metz House | Sioux City |
Iowa | 1911 | After being elected to the county board in 1914, Henry Metz (1866–1929) was crucial to Steele's securing the commission for the Woodbury County Courthouse (Sioux City 1915–1918). <RG Wilson> | |
National Guard Armory | Sioux City 823 Pearl Street |
Iowa | 1911–1912 | Now the Boys Club (since 1966) | |
Sioux City Free (Main) Public Library | Sioux City 705 6th Street |
Iowa | 1911–1913 | Now Carnegie Place Apartments Although the principal designer for the Italian Renaissance Revival building was Edward Tilton (1861—1933), Steele was the supervising architect. Tilton had worked for McKim, Mead & White, specialized in libraries, and was based in New York City. Steele was on the Sioux City library board and was on site, so it proved to be a convenient arrangement for both men.[11] ******** <need ref on Steele being on library board> |
|
Walthill Hospital | Walthill 505 Matthewson Street |
Nebraska | 1912–1913 | Added to the NRHP in 1988, and in 1993 named a National Historic Landmark. Later renamed the Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte Memorial Hospital after its founder, this American Craftsman style building on the Omaha Indian Reservation was a working hospital through most of the 1940s. |
|
Davidson Building | Sioux City 501 6th Street |
Iowa | 1912–1913 | some info here | |
Trinity College (3 buildings) |
Sioux City 3075 Floyd Boulevard |
Iowa | 1913 | Steele designed all three red brick-clad buildings for a Catholic men's college at which one of his sons would study. Perched on a hilltop between the Northside and Leeds neighborhoods, the three-story main building featured three bays, each topped with a prominent gable making an attic level. Tranverse wings to either side of the wider central bay connected to the two side bays. The Catholic Church made extensive use of the three Steele-designed buildings: after the college closed, they became the boys-only Trinity High School, later renamed Trinity Preparatory School, until 1950; next they were used as a convent, and then as a seminary. Finally sold to the public sector, they were used 1967–1974 by Western Iowa Tech, before sitting vacant for some years. All three buildings have been demolished.[12] |
|
Ben and Harriet Schulein House | Sioux City 2604 Jackson Street |
Iowa | 1913 | some info here | |
John H. Kelly House | Sioux City 2501 Jackson Street |

South Dakota | 1914 | Concrete... some info here | |
Sioux City Journal Building | Sioux City southwest corner of Douglas Street and 5th Street |
Iowa | 1914–1915 | Designed for the leading local newspaper, this four-story brick-clad building had east and north primary façades. Reminiscent of the lower floors of the famous Wainwright Building (St. Louis, 1890-1891) designed by Louis Sullivan, the main east side (facing Douglas Street) displayed "a crisp flat façade of banded windows and brick and terra cotta".[11][13][14] The Journal moved to a new building at 515 Pavonia Street in November 1972, and this building was demolished soon afterwards.[13][15] |
|
Livestock National Bank | Sioux City 807 South Chambers Street (now Cunningham Drive), south of Chicago Avenue |
Iowa | 1915 | Along with the Armour Carnegie Library of the same year, a Prairie School turning point... ********* At the cornice line, Steele installed Sullivanesque terra cotta ornamentation featuring livestock themes, designed by George Grant Elmslie. Demolished 2003. The Roth Fountain (designed by Blenderman and Kirk Hoefling, 2005) in downtown Sioux City preserves some of the original 12 terra cotta insets, salvaged before the bank's demolition, on brickwork that replicates that used on the bank (pictured).[11][16][17][18] |

Fort Dodge Sacred Heart Church | Fort Dodge 211 South 13th Street (South 13th Street & Second Avenue South) |
Iowa | 1915–1922 | Erected as a possible cathedral for the dioceses, Steele designed this expansive brick church in the Romanesque style but with some Prairie School influences. Noted for its beautiful interior, the church later added stained glass windows imported from Munich, Germany.[19] | |
Woodbury County Courthouse | Sioux City 620 Douglas Street |
Iowa | 1915–1918 | Added to the NRHP in 1973, and in 1996 named a National Historic Landmark. A masterpiece of the Prairie School style, Steele won the commission with the help of Henry Metz.

Blessed Sacrament School | Sioux City 3030 Jackson Street |
Iowa | 1924 | Now Holy Cross/Blessed Sacrament School | |
Fairmount Branch Public Library | Sioux City 220 South Fairmont Street |
Iowa | 1924–1927 | Steele & Hilgers Also known as the Fairmount Park Branch Public Library, later Greenville Neighborhood Center, and now part of Home Instead Senior Care. This and the Smith Villa Branch were nearly identical Prairie School library buildings, with this one being the first built and slightly smaller. This structure has been severely altered. |
|
Smith Villa Branch Public Library | Sioux City 1509 George Street |
Iowa | 1924–1927 | Steele & Hilgers Added to the NRHP in 1983. Also known as the Rebecca Osborne Smith Branch Library, now Headstart.

The building has two offset parallel gable rooflines, with one slightly lower than the other. On the west side are a series of distinctive pilasters reminiscent of those Steele employed on the Hartington City Hall and Auditorium (Hartington, Nebraska, 1921–1923). Clad in buff-colored brickwork that includes horizontal banding including at the levels of the first and second floor windows, the building manifests "a sense of rationalism and directness."[24][25][26] |

Northside Branch Public Library | Sioux City 810 29th Street |
Iowa | 1928–1929 | Steele & Hilgers Added to the NRHP in 2000. Now Bruce Meyer Productions Unlike his previous Prairie School libraries, Steele turned to the Tudor style for this one in Sioux City's posh north side. Although Steele publicly attributed the change to the residential neighborhood setting, it also signals a weakening of his use of the Prairie Style, with the Williges Building (1929–1930) as his last design in the style for which he is now most famous. |

Second Church of Christ, Scientist (Minneapolis) | Minneapolis 1115 2nd Avenue South |
Minnesota | 1928–1930 | Kimball, Steele & Sandham Now part of IVY Hotel + Residences Thomas Rogers Kimball secured the commission and was the principal designer for the newly formed firm of Kimball, Steele, and Sandham, but Kimball's declining health shifted some of the work to Steele. This Art Deco tower with Ziggurat features was originally intended as the first phase of an extensive campus for the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, but the building program was cut short by the advent of the Great Depression. Renamed the Ivy Tower in 1965 and used as office space, the curious little skyscraper was incorporated into the Post-modern style IVY Hotel + Residences in 2006–2008. |

Williges Building | Sioux City 613 Pierce Street |
Iowa | 1929–1930 | Steele & Hilgers Added to the NRHP in 2007. Steele's final commission in Sioux City and his last in partnership with George B. Hilgers, the Williges Building is not only Steele's last use of Prairie School architecture, but it represents “one of the last manifestations of the ...Prairie Style in the United States.”[27] |

St. Cecilia Cathedral | Omaha 701 North 40th Street |
Nebraska | 1929–1946 | Kimball, Steele & Sandham Added to the NRHP in 1979. Thomas Rogers Kimball (1862–1934) was the principal designer for this Spanish Renaissance Revival church. Although begun in 1905, it was not completed until 1959. Kimball's health was deteriorating and starting in 1929 he began turning the work of the cathedral over to Steele after Steele finished relocating to Omaha in that year. Nearly two decades later, about 1946 as his own health declined, Steele turned the work over to his partner Josiah D. Sandham and their newest partner, his son William L. Steele Jr. These two surviving partners oversaw the completion of the building in 1959. |
|
Federal Office Building | Omaha 106 South 15th Street |
Nebraska | 1932–1934 | Kimball, Steele & Sandham Added to the NRHP in 2009. An important commission for the firm of Kimball, Steele, and Sandham in the early years of the Great Depression, they designed this federal office and court building in the stripped classical style building with some Art Deco elements. Kimball's rapidly deteriorating health (he died before the building was completed) meant that Steele and Sandham did the lion's share of work along with associated architect George B. Prinz (1864–1946), who had previously served as Kimball's chief draftsman. <George Bernhard Prinz Nebraska History> |

Steele Jr. |
