Description

Pylons at the north entrance of the Hall of Science at the Century of Progress 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair.

A larger vertical structure in block design is at right angles to the pylons. Angle of the camera is from below through a curved opening. This appears to be the second floor and a curved wall is behind the pylons. Photo is mounted on ecru paperboard mat.
