"Missouri Building (4-H Building)/Poultry Building. Built 1905.
Contributing Building.
The Missouri Building is a rectangular brick and steel exposition building with Missionesque parapets above the four (one per side) entrances. The entrances (double-leaf) are within slightly projecting bays. The parapets contain circular windows. Each long axis of the approximately 80' x 160'building contains 15 bays, including a central entrance bay with a round-arched window and two somewhat narrower, parapeted bays with round-arched windows and blank doorways. Pilasters define the bays. Bays without entrances alternately contain pairs of single-frame vertical and individual circular windows. The hipped and gabled roof contains two shed-roof dormers per plane; gable ends are also windowed. The water table and trim are terra cotta. The Missouri Building was built in 1905 (as the "new" Poultry Building) when the original brick Poultry Building (#56) was quickly outgrown. In the 1930s, it was designated as the Missouri Building. Architect: Bast. Contractor: Johnson. "
