By Carol Porter

While St. Louis celebrates the centennial of the 1904 World’s Fair, this book brings the spectacular sights and sounds of the fair together with the intriguing story of a young architect, Louis Spiering.

In this book, author Carol Porter provides an intimate perspective of the fair through the history of Spiering, a young architect on the design team.

Spiering’s personal journal of photographs from the World’s Fair, unseen for nearly a century, reveals the fair’s grand undertaking through the young architect’s eyes.
