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.)
