Helping Young Architects

In 1926 George Fox Steedman and his sister-in-law established the James Harrison Steedman Traveling Fellowship in Architecture at Washington University in memory of his late brother.

In its early years, this Fellowship was granted to local architectural students, and funded a year’s travel in Europe.  The first winner was Paul James Saunders. 

Several winners went on to become some of St. Louis’ most prominent architects. Today it is an international competition.
