Anthony R. Crawford donated the Anthony R. Crawford Collection to the Western Historical Manuscript Collection at the University of Missouri-St. Louis on August 16, 1983. Photographs from this collection must credit the Anthony R. Crawford Collection.
The collection contains four hundred and forty-five black and white prints and negatives of downtown St. Louis buildings taken between 1980-1983. The collection also contains prints and negatives of the 1981 Veiled Prophet Fair and Parade.
In 1983, the Pride of St. Louis Redevelopment Corporation began demolishing the historic Title Guaranty Building on Seventh and Chestnut to construct the Gateway Mall complex. Pride eventually tore down the Buder and International buildings also on Seventh and Chestnut. The collection contains one folder of newsclippings about the razing of these turn-of-the-century buildings to redevelop the downtown St. Louis area.
