  • Architectural Model for the Charles Evans Whittaker U.S. Courthouse, Kansas City, MO.



    The model is of paper/cardboard construction with Plexiglas windows and Plexiglas vitrine.  Model has 3 1/2" deep and 1/2" thick wood base plate, painted black.  The model measures 45 1/2" wide by 73" deep by 28 3/4" high; sitting on a 36" high base.  The base is constructed of plywood sheeting with black carpet material covering.



    The design is different from every angle.  While certain external symmetry is maintained throughout, no two sides of the building are exactly alike.  Also of note, this project represents one of the first federal projects nationwide constructed using the metric system and was the first in Kansas City.
