Columns, beams, facades, and other architectural elements were stored in a number of warehouse spaces around St. Louis for a number of years. In 2007, the collection was consolidated and moved to Sauget, Illinois, in the former Sterling Steel Casting foundry property.[2] The collection is more than 300,000 items in 1,600 wooden crates of 30 cubic feet.[4][5] It cost about $1 million to acquire the Sauget site and move the artifacts there in 350 semi-truck loads.[4] The foundation hopes to one day show their collection to the general public in a National Building Arts Center. In the original plans for the Gateway Arch, there was an idea to include an architecture museum on the Illinois side of the river.[6] To raise money for the shelter, Giles is selling duplicates and doubles of artifacts, in addition to traditional fundraising.[4] Items in the collection include:
