The camera angle is pointed east near Meramec Avenue. The bridge with the streetcar was located behind and to the north of Meramec School. The smaller bridge in the background crossed the valley from the southern end of Bemiston over to North Polo. The Hanley Bridge is out of sight in the far distance. The 1976 Clayton History book tells about the Bemiston bridge. Notice the Rock Island rail lines are gone. The little road on the left became Shaw Park Drive.

The Philippine Exposition spanned the area that is now the easternmost edge of the city of Clayton, from Skinker Road in the east to Big Bend Boulevard in the west, and from Clayton Road in the south to Millbrook Boulevard in the north. The Igorot Village was nearest the corner of Wydown Terrace and Skinker Road on the plot of land where Wydown Middle School sports teams now compete. <br />

It ceased to be a hotel in the late 1920's. It became an office building for General Title Company, and then the Bond Clothing Company occupied the space from 1950 to 1957. It was returned to office space for the Chicago Title Company.<br />
