Manufactures Building
World's Columbian Exposition (1893 : Chicago, Ill.)
Aaron Zephir
This 11 by 7 inch color lithograph seen here depicts the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building at the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. As the main exhibit space of the fair, it was the largest building ever constructed at the time and the most visited site at the exposition. The general scheme for the building was laid out during the early planning stages of the Chicago fair. It was to be located facing Lake Michigan on its long axis and the east end of the Court of Honor, where the other main buildings were grouped, on its short axis. Architect John Wellborn Root, partner of fair director Daniel Burnham, devised the basic function for the building.

Panorama of the Panama-California Exposition
Panama-California Exposition (1915 : San Diego, Calif.)
Christopher Jinks
Prior to 1915, world's fairs and exhibitions were held in well-established and large cities. Existing resources and transportation were ample or could be easily improved upon. The Panama-California Exposition of 1915 was different as it changed the small port town of San Diego into a sprawling and successful metropolitan area.

P. H. Delamotte Photograph of the Interior of the Crystal Palace
Great Exhibition (1851 : London, England)
Elizabeth Creveling
After a successful year of housing the Great Exposition, the Crystal Palace by Joseph Paxton was disassembled and moved to Sydenham, where it stood for the next 85 years (Hobhouse, 32). The Palace, built for the 1851 World's Fair in London, was an architectural and engineering wonder modeled after the bridge and train shed construction of the mid-nineteenth century. The structure had been designed to be quickly assembled out of prefabricated members and easily rebuilt elsewhere. Its light construction was made possible to use of thin cast iron prefabricated elements combined with wood and a glazed outer shell.

Crystal Palace, Exterior
Great Exhibition (1851 : London, England)
Elizabeth Creveling
The Crystal Palace was dismantled and rebuilt in Sydenham after the closing of the Fair and stood there until 1936 when it was destroyed by fire. Although it is no longer standing today, this structure is documented in photographs such as this one, through which it can continue to influence the worlds of architecture and engineering.
