Inc state ana exninit buildings OF
the jamestown ExpoSitlon are 70 DC
permanent structures and after the
exposition will become homes. club
houses, and seaside hotels. The Misso'
uri building is a handsome colonial
mansion Of brick and stone, overlook
ing Hampton Roads and fronting on
Willoughby boulevard. Its wide We
randas and stately columns impart to
this building an air of magnificent
grace and dignity peculiar TO the old
colonial structures. The ceiling Of the
spacious entrance hall is broken by a
well, forming a mezzanine of the sec
ond story and producing a charming
effect. In this well hangs an elabor-
ate electric cluster, furnishing briIli-
ant illumination for the hall, and
grand stairway. Four large comfort
able rooms, handsomely furnished, are
entered from the hall upstairs. The
building is q OF the prettiest and
best OF the state build ings on the Elk
position grounds.

OF Missouri manifested itself. Every
commissioner knew that Missouri
pride would compel the appropriation
of sufficient amount to finish a build

the state, and 1t was determined to
