Grandpa, They'll never tear in down will they? Well...they better not.

Much like the buildings of the Chicago Centennial, the buildings of the 1904 World's Fair were not built to last. They were temporary structures by design.
Example; Those big buildings, with all the impressive stone work and columns, were really just wood, and lattice, covered in molded plaster, and painted to look like stone.

Thanks for posting, too bad the attitude years ago was to tear things down and throw away. Down by the St. Louis Gateway Arch and old Cathedral, no signs of how there were buildings down to the river, Now most of northern downtown is like a ghost town, in decay. So many great examples of architecture overlooked and forgotten.

I was the little kid in this video; Scott Joplin was there and everything!! But I wasn't allowed to listen to that kind of 'devil' music.
