St. Louis Worlds Fair Pavilion
Originally uploaded by DisHippy
The present pavilion was not built for or during the Fair. It was built as part of the Forest Park restoration in 1909-10 (1910, according to most references) as a public shelter and refreshment stand. Located on Government Hill, the location of the fair's Missouri Building, the $35,000-$40,000 cost was from proceeds from the Fair.
We were there in the late afternoon when the sun was just turning golden and letting the skies be a beautiful blue. Despite being pretty cold and a bit breezy on top of the hill, it was good shooting and good testing for my UWA. Enjoy!
