DescriptionThis photograph is the right part of a 4-part panorama view that appeared in "A Trip to Camp Lewis, A City of Tents," a promotional pamphlet published by the Lewis Publishing Company. 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. While this photograph shows none of the camp and the tents, it does show the as yet undeveloped land that was part of Edward Gardner Lewis' University Heights #1 and much of the land that would later become the north part of University City. Some subdivisions north of Olive Street Road had been platted before the turn of the century and many of the houses already built are visible in the distance.
