1904 World's Fair Building Dated 1803! 'Construction' Photos...

Today, as promised, I will be sharing possibly the most self destructing photo to the main stream narrative. A photo from the St. Louis World's Fair or Exposition. A photo that was said to be taken in 1903 when there is clear proof on the building that this date is a lie. I will also be sharing much....much more!

THE ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR
The St. Louis World's Fair, also known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, was an international exposition held in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, from April 30 to December 1, 1904.

PURPOSE: The exposition commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase, a significant real estate deal between President Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte of France. It also celebrated the United States' emerging role as a global player.

FUNDING: The event was financed by local, state, and federal funds totaling $15 million, equivalent to $509 million in 2023.

PARTICIPANTS: More than 60 countries and 43 of the then-45 American states maintained exhibition spaces at the fair.

VISITORS: The fair was attended by nearly 19.7 million people.

LEGACY: The fair had a long-lasting impact on intellectuals in the fields of history, art history, architecture, and anthropology. It also influenced the permanent new buildings and master plans of major cities.

ATTRACTIONS: The fair hosted a variety of exhibits, events, and new foods. Visitors could enjoy the incredible sights, sounds, and inventions on display.

Visitors could enjoy the incredible sights, sounds, inventions, events, and new foods on display. They could explore the fair’s 1,500 buildings — arrayed over 1,200 acres in Forest Park — taste Dr. Pepper, marvel at new inventions like the electric typewriter, and even attend the 1904 Olympic Games.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY PROCLAIMS:
---
In August 1901, President William McKinley proclaimed that the next World's Fair would be held in St. Louis, Missouri. Dubbed the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the fair — originally set to take place in 1903 — would celebrate the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase, which added 530,000,000 acres of territory to the young United States in 1803.

"In the name of the Government and of the people of the United States, I do hereby invite all the nations of the earth to take part in the commemoration of the purchase of the Louisiana Territory," McKinley declared.

Just a month later, McKinley was felled by an assassin's bullet. But plans for the grand Louisiana Purchase Exposition went on. As the Missouri Historical Society writes, more than 10,000 laborers toiled to transform "1,200 acres of thickets and swamps" in St. Louis into a "grand landscape."

[where did these 10,000 people live, eat, shower, etc? There are no construction photos and certainly no photos of building for the workers.]
