Description	This photograph was taken from the top floor of the Woman's Magazine Building. The buildings of the 1904 St. Louis World Fair are in the distance. The Epworth Hotel (renamed the Park Hotel after the Fair), the Indiana House and the Convention Hotel all provided accommodations for Fair visitors. Because accommodations were at a premium, temporary structures were erected, and where ground was available, tents were set up. The group of tents in this photograph are not the tents for Camp Lewis, Edward Gardner Lewis' "tent city." Camp Lewis was located a few blocks north and west.
