Title	Left Fiest [i.e. La Fiesta] Restaurant partial view; center Belgian Waffle House; right Hofbrau
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00313
Description	Restaurant construction, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). On the Fiesta Restaurant, designed by Burhans Design Associates: “Cantilevered 2 ft. from ground level, wood-framed structure makes most of view of nearby fountain and mall area.” (An Architect’s Guidebook to the Seattle World’s Fair. Seattle, Pacific Builder and Engineer, April 1962, p. 40.) On the Belgian Waffle House: “Belgian waffles are famous for being widely introduced at a world’s fair, and most reference books say that it was the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair. They are wrong. The tasty treats were a hit first in Seattle. The New York version was a lighter waffle and is better known today, but the Belgian Waffle House was a popular spot with the Seattle crowds.” (Bill Cotter, Seattle's 1962 World's Fair. 2010: Arcadia Publishing, p. 101.) On the Hofbrau Haus restaurant, designed by John Graham and Co.: "Eight plywood bays are assembled in 20-ft. diameter vaults, one of largest thin shell spans in this configuration." (An Architect’s Guidebook to the Seattle World’s Fair. Seattle, Pacific Builder and Engineer, April 1962, p. 40)
