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.

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 (equivalent to $41,559,459 in 2021). This allowed the Fair Company to utilize 1,240 acres for the Exposition.

An additional $100,000 (equivalent to $3,015,926 in 2021) 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.
