	The Epworth League built the Hotel Epworth to house visitors to the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. The Hotel reportedly had 500 rooms, assembly rooms for Sunday and weekday services, and a roof garden. Rooms rented for $1.00 and up per day. It was only three blocks from the Fair Grounds and near street car lines to connect guests with all parts of the City. It was just a few blocks away from the Woman's Magazine Building, Edward Gardner Lewis' new publishing headquarters. The Woman's Magazine Building is just visible on the left with scaffolding still in place on the southwest facade. After the World's Fair, the Hotel Epworth became a residential hotel and was renamed the Park Hotel.

This photograph shows the east facade of the building. The dense group of saplings in the foreground is actually the nursery for Parkview Subdivision, just to the east, where trees and bushes were grown to be transplanted to the park areas in Parkview. This photograph appeared in "The American Woman's League and University City," published in February 1908.
