Look at these Pictures I took Today

My wife and I drove 40 miles one way to St. Louis Mo. today just so I could take these pictures. They are of the old P&O Plow Company Building & Oliver Building. Short building on the left is the Oliver building and the tall one is the P&O building. I wonder what these stones would be worth? I'm sure they are from the later part of the 1800's to the early 1900's.
The Oliver emblem is surrounded by the letter "C". I first thought the letter "C" had fallen over thru the years but it's there.
Then I went to the back side of the buildings to get a couple of more pictures a block away. The last picture is the back of the Massey Harris building. It says "Massey Harris Power Machinery". That building is being remodeled inside.

WOW way cool and pretty neat. I wish we had old buildings like that in SO Ca. They have all be torn down do to the fact that there not earth quake safe. So thank you for shareing your pictures.
 
Nice John! I've lived either in or close to St. Louis all my life and have never seen, nor knew, Oliver had a facility here. Great piece of history. Thanks for posting.
