Talk:Central Police Station (St. Joseph, Missouri)

1909 Construction / Harvey Ellis
The Harvey Ellis Wikipedia page attributes the design of this building to Ellis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Ellis. So does the National Military Heritage Museum, which currently occupies the building: http://nationalmilitaryheritagemuseum.net/about-us/. Also, both of these sources give 1890 as the year that the Central Police Station was built.

It seems quite likely that the Central Police Station was built before 1909: It is on the Sanborn map of St. Joseph for 1897, http://digital.library.umsystem.edu/cgi/i/image/image-idx?sid=a2ed62c967b4aef52c14400b799d54f9;q1=st.%20joseph;rgn1=umcscsanic_all;size=20;c=umcscsanic;lasttype=boolean;view=entry;lastview=thumbnail;subview=detail;cc=umcscsanic;entryid=x-sanborn4929.jpg;viewid=SANBORN4929.JPG;start=341;resnum=343

What is the source of the attribution to Eckel? And what is the source for the construction year of 1909?
