St. Louis History - Demolishing The 1904 World Fair Pike

- They called it 'The Pike'. It was a stretch of Lindell a mile long and as wide as imagination. It was a very popular attraction in the St. Louis Worlds Fair of 1904.
There were circus elephants and cliff dwellers. Places to visit to China, Cairo and attend a Bedouin wedding. You could even witness creation and get a taste of the hereafter and wash it down with a cold beer. When it came time for the final farewell St. Louis faced a dilemma.
"The fair planners had a contractual obligation to demolish the fair grounds and return Forest Park to sort of a predetermined lands. They were legally obligated to do that. The problem on the Pike was they were all concessionaires and everything they had set up was all theirs. They couldn't sell it for anything. The costs of demolition were greater than the value of what there was to salvage," said Dr. Robert Archibald.
That's when some starting suggesting the pike be made a permanent. Among those who rejected the idea was Washington University. The pike practically began at its front entrance. So that was the end of the discussion.
Of the sixty attractions on The Pike perhaps the most popular was a horse named "Beautiful Jim Key." For 15 cents you could watch him use blocks to spell his name and even do math. His wonders were later celebrated in a song which included the verse:
I can count and I can add. Know my alphabet and that's not bad. I can even give you change. For a horse that seems strange.
That ain't no fair. That's a city. America doing what it does best. Lie
Temporary plaster of paris buildings would have turned into goop after the first rain fall so that doesn’t add up..
Wrong. That’s what it was made of. And up until recently they continue to find parts of that plaster buried underground. Go to the history museum and see for yourself
You are thinking of paper mache. This was much more durable than that.
@LarryGross-zl4bf no, "exposure to weather leads to disintegration/deterioration of plaster", according to Google.

@@henryjames2484 No it clearly wasn't.
My home is built from the worlds fair salvage materials. The contract to demolish the buildings was awarded to the Chicago home and wrecking company. They also demolished the worlds fair in Chicago a few years prior, and began a kit home sales division similar to the old sears homes. Mine was built in 1905 so I'm not certain which fair the materials came from. I still have all the original windows and doors on the house, as well as the vast majority of the interior as it was. All of the hardware is very ornate as is the woodwork.
A video of your home and the details would be interesting!
what they left out is that nikola tesla was in charge of bringing the electricity to the fair and he used all free energy to bring the electricity
Ik it was the first fair to be lit with electricity, but is the Tesla part true? And if so, where can I look into that.
@@DZ4Prezident it has be true who else could they use to light up everything and its not Edison but the powers that be scrub it from the internet
they didn’t build them, takes founded to a new level. the history we know has been messed with, something happened in the 1800s early 1900s. all around these world fairs the most magnificent buildings were being built in 1 year they say and then torn down. we couldn’t make things like that in 50 years today. it’s fascinating, just look at old pictures of the white house and other capital buildings in every state. a lot of them built before power tools in less then a year with prisoners alot of time. they had contests to see who had the best design a lot to and go figure don’t they all look exactly the same. we definitely didn’t build these things, something’s off
No they didn't, he wasn't even there. You're thinking of the Chicago worlds fair, some eight years before.
@@here5137nothings off, there was skilled labor, masons, sculptors, many from other countries. Look at the beautiful buildings that were built here and around the world.
So from what Im getting from all these world fairs it seems like the wealth in that day was soo vast that they would able to build these just to flex then tear em down
No , they didnt build them. They where allready standing there and where magnificent.
@@o234 why
@@o234Nothing like building A Village of Castles w/ donkey drawn carriages & importing foreign fauna, jusr to tear it all down after 6 months. Lmao! Never mind working 5 months out of the year- to build it in 20° (or colder) Wind blown Chicago weather.
Families like Rockefeller and Rothschild destroyed society for their greed
We couldn't build like that now if we wanted to
exactly i smell bullshit
It was a pre flood tartarian civilization
What if the building materials where so cheap that they could?
@@leroybrown505 lmfao what?
@@JuniorM4eva Research Tartaria
They spent less on building and more on demolishing?? What exactly did they build that was so cheap (cheaper than TNT)? Sausage stands?
the point is they didn’t build them, takes founded to a new level. the history we know has been messed with, around 1905 and all around these world fairs the most magnificent buildings were being built in 1 year they say and then torn down. we couldn’t make things like that in 50 years today. it’s fascinating, just look at old pictures of the white house and other capital buildings in every state. a lot of them built before power tools in less then a year with prisoners alot of time. they had contests to see who had the best design a lot to and go figure don’t they all look exactly the same. we definitely didn’t build these things, something’s off
1:22 "I didn't know we could do that" - Basically he just confirmed / implied what "tartarian conspiracy theorists" had been saying for years. I'm glad people who are part of the cover ups are that dumb that they actually give it away. :)
How does that make any sense
Yeah like someone let it slip and they didn't edit it out ? Bs. You have no idea how much money was involved in world Faires. We had ferris wheels at the time but nobody csn believe we made sculptural architecture for the biggest event in the world. It's so stupid.
@@boscornerhow much money, a lot?
The people who don’t at least question how hundreds of gothic style castles and cathedrals could be built by the same savages riding around in horse drawn carriages, are the indoctrinated sheep. There is literally pictures of these huge buildings with stains 10-15’ high like mud and soil had been removed from the building
Something doesn't add up.... why build all that in the late 1800s early 1900s and then tear it all down. hmmm
Tartaria
It's a temporary Fair and you actually need to get back use of your city afterwards. Where the St. Louis World's Fair was is Forest Park today with literally one of the buildings sitll standing in as well as the Great Basin from the Fair. You can still see and touch items from the World's Fair at Missouri History Museum. People's families around here still have stories about the fair and their grandfathers working on them. Before the St. Louis World's Fair the location of the Fair was a forest and also Mississippian mounds. These were removed and the Fair built. After the Fair most temporary buildings were removed and we now have a city park. All of the buildings are not gone nor are artifacts from the creation of them.
The 3D map of the Fairgrounds is quite impressive. I’m glad things like the Grand Basin survived the World’s Fair. It’s kind of amazing how many amazing things were destroyed
The comedic music is a nice touch 😂
I want newspaper and magazine articles from that time smh
It cost more money to demolish the structures than to keep them undemolished?
It’s too hide the old world/timeline
@@andreterrell8648the what?
You could even witness the electrocutation of an elephant. Come down at the fair! It's fun for everyone!
Don't forget the (Creepy AF) _"Come Buy A Baby"_ incubator exhibits. WHAT FUN!
Electrocution*
Demolishing tartaria and any evidence! There fixed the title.
WE WERE ALREADY HERE. #HISTORYISALIE
rubbish they should have found a real way to perserve the fiar!
I sorry but your comments doesn't make any sense, all buildings where there before the exposición because it's impossible to build so many buildings in such a short time.
This original buildings belong to another previous civilization for this reason it was demolished
yes
Lol
Agreed
Facts.
Disneyland was built in a year...
So much history
Proof of Tartaira not a "fair"
Maybe we arrived to earth in 1900 and made it ours.
Hear after... maybe meaning hear after we Mudflood?
bs. its all ancient structures. u r in on it. if u lie like this
Seems like these folks don't know anything about these buildings......
tartaria
Came here for the conspiracy .. left wanting WAY more info on Beautiful Jim Key.. 🤔
Of course WashU would be opposed to that much fun!
Ancient structures we’ve been lied to
History = His Story! History is a lie we have been lied to about so much!🥺
All lies! These buildings were ancient. This was the great reset
Torn Down What was here after what ? CANT BUILD THAT EVER Where is Caucasia ?
It was good clean fun, oh and some racist sideshows but let's not talk about that.
Wow, so brave of you judging people from 100 years ago by today's moral standards as though you'd be any different. Stunning, brave and bold. But I notice people like you only do this with White people and only care about racism when non-Whites are subject to it and never White people maybe because you're anti-White
@@carliromano You know nothing about me. It's human nature to make judgements. It's how we grow and improve as individuals and as a society.
Racist according to who? Those that setup the tents who were proud of their countries? It's called the Worlds Fair...duh!
You have helped to make victimhood the most valuable currency that it is
???
Bullshit !
Lies...
Lies
bs! those buildings were not constructed in 2 years
