HALL OF SCIENCE
CHICAGO WORLD'S FAIR
as seen from the main lagoon. Notice the carillon-equipped tower, the rostrum at the right, the decorated cloth banner which serves as a background for the speaker, the three levels on which structure is built and the entrance to the medical exhibit at the lower level. The Hall of Science is 700 by 400 feet. At night it is brilliantly illuminated by indirect and fluctuating colored flood lights. This structure is located at Sixteenth St. and the lake, with part of the building extending directly across Leif Erikson Drive--Chicago's famous waterfront boulevard.
Notice the INSCRIPTION lettering above the door. Notice that this is the same picture that Curt Teich used for both 1933 and 1934--with different coloring.

I am going to discontinue my old Century of Progress website
Do you have any suggestions on what to include on Postcardy.com?.
