Description

Chrysler Motors Building at the Century of Progress 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair. In the center the two halves of the white building have vertical slots which make contrasting lines. The long approach to the glass-walled 2-story circular area in front of the building emphasizes the reflecting pool to the left and display area with cars behind columns on the right. Small slim trees are around the pool and 3 water jets are in the pool. Bright sun is on the right and there are fluffy clouds in the sky. "CHRYSLER MOTORS" is on the building facade.
