Title	Food Circus interior
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00454
Description	Fisher's Scones concession in Food Circus, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle Worlds Fair). "Close to the center of the fairgrounds is the Food Circus, a great bustling eaters' delight. Ranged about the vast floor are 52 concessions, all producing food in its manifold phases." (Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 137.) The building was constructed in 1938 as the Washington National Guard Armory (Architects: Floyd A. Naramore and Arrigo M. Young) and was transformed into the Food Circus for the Century 21 Exposition (Architects: Durham, Anderson, and Freed). Fisher's served scones for 15¢ and coffee for 10¢. (Official press book: Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Century 21 Exposition, 1962, p. 52.)
