Title	General Assembly of Kentucky in front of Administration Building an hour before dedication of Kentucky Building, February 13, 1904. Lieut. Gov. Thorne and Party.
Description	Group portrait of men wearing dark suits and hats, and a few women wearing dresses and hats, posing on the long, wide staircase leading up to a large, two-story, brick building. A few of the men are sitting or leaning on the stair's railing, and two children sit at the base of the railing. According to the report of Kentucky's Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, this is the Kentucky delegation, including Lieutenant Governor William P. Thorne, assembled at the Administration Building of the fairgrounds before the dedication of the Kentucky Building, also known as the "New Kentucky Home." The Administration Building, completed in 1902, was leased to the fair by Washington University, where it was then known as the University Hall; its name changed to Brookings Hall in 1928.
