In May, 1901, the legislature of the State of Arkansas enacted a bill appropriating the sum of $30,000 for the erection and maintenance of a State building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and for the installation and maintenance of the exhibits of the State.  Subsequently, in 1903, the State legislature appropriated a further sum of $50,000 for the purpose of the State exhibit.  There were no private subscriptions, the entire cost of the State building and maintenance thereof being borne by the State appropriation.

The cost of the installation and transportation of the different exhibits made by the commission was $18,102, besides the cost of returning the exhibits.

The Arkansas Pavilion at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition was a fine specimen of Georgian architecture, of the type so much used throughout the South in antebellum times.  The adaptation of the colonial features to the purpose for which the building was used was most admirable.  The location, with its foreground of grass and forest trees, produced an effect suggesting age and permanency that few buildings on the ground possessed.  In fact, on coming upon the building unexpectedly, one would presume that it had occupied its site for two generations at least.  The building was arranged for the entertainment of the Arkansans visiting the fair, and served the purpose of a clubhouse and general headquarters for thousands of people.
