The Administration group of buildings are situated on a tract of land 110 acres in extent and were held under lease from the University Corporation by the Exposition Company since January, 1902. The University took back the Fair's leased land after January, 1905.

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.
 
The Administration Building was the official reception hall used to meet dignitaries and other Fair-going VIPs. It also served as an exhibit of a model university.
