Title	View of U.S. Science Pavilion
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00671
Description	United States Science Pavilion, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). “‘No cost appears to have been spared to make this dazzling, decorated sanctuary a pleasure to behold as the visitor enters upon the scene through the skeletal gothic “theme” towers,’ comments architectural critic Victor Steinbrueck. ‘Boulder-lined reflecting pools with many large petal shaped fountains, delicate landscaping and terrazzo paving combine with the almost completely white walls to provide a handsome oasis within the busy hectic exposition.’” (An Architect’s Guidebook to the Seattle World’s Fair. Seattle, Pacific Builder and Engineer, April 1962, p. 23.)
