Exterior view photograph. New York Pavilion exterior (lot B-346). Incorporating elements from amusement park architecture, the New York State Pavilion and its revolving carousel conveyed a sense of fun and whimsy. Four of the six towers were kept to one storey and housed movie theatres. The two remaining towers housed two storeys of staff and administration space. The carousel was home to the main exhibit area. Focusing on its relationship with Canada, the exhibits displayed New York as a great vacation place. Industry related displays put emphasis on the success of Canadian firms in the New York market. In fact, the motto for the New York State exhibit was "Welcome, Canadian Neighbour". Six cylindrical towers fronted by circular 'carousel' exhibition space. Canvas on structural steel (S: 80' diameter (carousel), 30' diameter (towers) --- A: 12000 sq. ft. --- H: 16' (carousel), 40' (towers))

Exterior view photograph. United States of America Pavilion exterior (lot B-358). The United States of America Pavilion was a marvel of structural design. This six level geodesic dome was the first of its kind, specially designed to create a new environment through structure. The transparent acrylic domes set inside the steel structure glistened in the day and glowed from interior lighting at night. At the base of the dome was a 300 seat theatre featuring a three-screen color film about American children at play. Four multi-level exhibition platforms themed "Creative America" displayed folk art, cinema and fine art exhibits. The highest level was reached by the longest escalator ever constructed at the time. The exhibit featured full scale lunar vehicles set against a simulated lunar landscape. Three-quarter space frame sphere enclosed with transparent hexagonal and pentagonal acrylic. Tubular steel with acrylic domes. (S: 250' diameter --- A: volume: 6.7 million cubic feet. --- H: 206')
