This very common series has some small detail that need some attention.
The first Issue 1 schilling violet brown was actually not a part of the 'Building series'. It was edited to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the pilgrimage town Mariazell. Under the frame we can see the name of the designer (H. Strohofer) and the engraver (G. Wimmer). This stamp has a single line inner frame. The stamp was issued 1957-06-22. Mi 1035, Sc 620, Yt 868, Sg 1292, AFA 935
Then some months later the 'same' stamp was re-issued 1957-10-25. This issue is the first in the 'Building series'. But with some differences. Now it has a double line in the inner frame. It is also typographic printed, the first one was recess printed. Mi: 1037, Sc: 621, Yt: 870A, Sg: 1294, AFA: 937.
And on 1959-01-19 there was two new versiones, with only the designer name ( in center) under the bottom frame. This stamp came in two versions, on grey paper and on white, fluorescent paper.
Grey paper: Mi: 1045x, Sc: 622, Yt: 871A, AFA: 949.
Fluorescent paper: Mi: 1045y, Yt: 871B, Sg: 1302.
