__NOTOC__
==Before the Fair==
The Fair commission initially looked into utilizing land a block away from riverfront land, but after citizen did not desire this, the company looked at Forest Park. 


The leasing fee totaled $1,378,000 ({{Inflation|US|1,378,000|1904|fmt=eq}}). This allowed the Fair Company to utilize 1,240 acres for the Exposition.
An additional $100,000 ({{Inflation|US|100,000|1904|fmt=eq}}) rent was paid to Washington University by the Exposition Company when the Fair was delayed to 1904. The funds were used to build additional facilities for the Fair and University.
