This is the Illinois Host Building at the Century of Progress 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair. Branches of two large trees frame the tower and clipped hedges line the sidewalks. This appears to be the "back" entrance. Many flagpoles with flags are visible over the wings. Photo is mounted on ecru paperboard mat.
