Contributor | Lewis Publishing Company (University City, Mo.) | Date.Digital | 2002-06-04 | Date.Original | 1904 | 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 lavatory facilities available for guests. Because of the need to connect to water and sewer lines, the lavatories were in more substantial structures than tents. Copies of Lewis Publishing Company magazines decorate the walls. This photograph appeared in "A Trip to Camp Lewis, A City of Tents," a promotional brochure published by Lewis Publishing Company. | Source | Photograph, dark, tear lower left corner, 9.44" by 7.61" | Subject | University City (Mo.)--Pictorial Works | Subject | Camp Lewis (University City, Mo.) | Title | Camp Lewis lavatory facilities, 1904 |
