Description	Camp Lewis, or Tent City, was a community of tents set up to provide accommodations at reasonable rates for Lewis Publishing Company subscribers and others attending the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. This photograph shows the hospital and nursery tent. A doctor was on staff to attend to any medical needs of Camp Lewis guests, and day care was provided for children too young to be taken to the Fair. The sides of the tent could be raised or lowered depending on the weather. This photograph appeared in "A Trip to Camp Lewis, A City of Tents," a promotional brochure published by Lewis Publishing Company.
