Maine's state building was a large two-story log cabin, with shaved shingles. It stood in a shady grove that extended from the Pennsylvania building on the Plateau of States westward to the Mining Gulch.
Description
Resembling a hunting lodge, builders used timber from Maine forests, and built it in Maine. It was then taken apart in pieces and reconstructed in St. Louis by Maine woodmen without the aid of nails.
The summer resorts of the Main Coast were shown in window transparencies.
An information bureau was situated inside the building.
On the right of the central hallway on the first floor, a staircase hall, the staircase was constructed of logs and timbers. The building was decorated with moose heads and specimens of the game and fish to be found in Maine. The walls of the building were hung with pictures of various scenes in the State.
After the Fair
After the Fair, it was purchased by a group of Ozarks for $2,000 (equivalent to $60,319 in 2021) for the purpose of a sportsman's clubhouse, later becoming an Ozark school before burning down to the ground in the 1940s.
