Exposition Plans for South Carolina Fair in Charleston
The South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition will open in Charleston on December 1, 1901, and close June 1, 1902. The Exposition Company, chartered by South Carolina with $250,000 capital, begins work since August. Grounds near the Ashley River will host the Main Exposition Building, Midway, and Government and State exhibits with a grand court, sunken garden, and vistas toward palatial pavilions. The Cotton Palace will dominate the complex, with 50,000 square feet of floor space, a 150-foot central dome, and a stately administration, commerce, and agricultural palace cluster surrounding a large court of palaces. A United States Government Building, Woman's Building, and multiple state and city buildings will also be present, all connected by colonnades and designed in a Spanish Renaissance-influenced style.
