BACK TO 1904


St. Louis had a world’s fair in 1904. (And the second modern Olympics after Athens. We used to be somebody.) This is one of two structures from the fair that remain, the other being the core of the art museum. We call this one the World’s Fair Pavilion.  There is a sweeping view down a hill on the other side and a nice open-sided space within. I’ve been to a wedding and reception there. When I was in college, the day after a concert in a theater, the Grateful Dead showed up here and played for free. Infrared makes it more dramatic.
