Image of the Missouri State Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, or the World's Fair. The caption below the image reads: The Missouri State Building is an imposing structure of Spanish renaissance order of architecture. It was built entirely practically of Missouri material, handled by Missouri mechanics, and its rugs, carpets, curtains, and other furnishings were largely the products of that State. The interior of the building is divided into large halls for display of women's work, historical relics, etc. The cost of the building was $40,000.
