Description

Three buildings appear on HK-321, an aluminum medal of the 1904 St. Louis fair. The obverse shows the Varied Industries palace, its footprint given as 525 by 1200 feet and its cost as 604,000 dollars. The reverse stacks two more: the Palace of Transportation, 525 by 1300 feet, costing 696,000 dollars, and below it the Palace of Art, 836 feet long, at a full million dollars. Part of the Art Palace was the one permanent structure of the exposition and later housed the City Art Museum. A brass version, HK-321a, follows this reeded aluminum one in the listing. Aluminum, 36 mm.
