Missouri Building at 1904 World's Fair

From Centennial History of Missouri by Walter Stevens (1921); image is from 1904. The Missouri Building at the 1904 World's Fair was constructed of staff, a mixture of plaster of paris and concrete. The state buildings were on Government Hill, now the site of the World's Fair Pavilion (built in 1909 using proceeds from the Fair, and often mistaken as an original fair building). The Missouri Building burned and was demolished in November 1904.
