The finearts building had many high relief panels around the building showing processionals of art workers of all arts and periods. There was also sculpture and statuary throughout the building. There was an enclosed group of statuary made up of a seated female surrounded by various art workers bringing their handiwork for judgement. There were groups of symbolic composition surrounding pediments representing history, literature and science. Crowning each pediment was a figure representing fame. The sculpture done in the building was done by Sculptor Bringhurst of St. Louis. Groups of cherubs, eagles and sheilds were found all around the building. See Paintings displayed in the Fine Arts Building.
