My grandfather’s college notebook holds his drawings from various architecture classes at the University of Illinois.
This plate was created by M. Hegsted for Midland Terra Cotta Company
- First Job for Martin Hegsted
Finial from Midland Terra Cotta
This was my grandfather and my grandmother was Vera. I lived with him while I was growing up how did you get a hold of his drawings? I see the name and it makes sense since his father and mother were from Norway and Denmark.

Hi Tom. The print was in one of Aunt Shirley’s art portfolios. I’m so happy to see a post from you.
