Title	Interiors Pavilion entrance
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00635
Description	Interiors, Fashion, and Commerce Pavilion of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). “Architecturally speaking, this exhibit building appears to be a candidate as one of the most successful on the fairgrounds. It is far from being spectacular, but as an understatement fulfills several objectives . “First and foremost, the structure in its simple form and neutral color scheme (white and shades of gray)provides an appropriate backdrop for the fashions, fabrics and other displays it will house, rather than competes with them. The long horizontal lines create an effective foil for the sharp vertical of the adjacent Space Needle; and the roof, in particular, helps to contain a triangular area which is rather disorganized in its plan. The sloping site permits three ceiling gradients by dropping the floor levels . “Precast concrete columns support prebuilt steel joists and girders. Cement stucco containing selected chips from an eastern Washington quarry make up the fascia and walls. The poured-in-place concrete bulkhead gets its pattern from the wood inserts used in the forming and provides the contraction jointing.” (An Architect’s Guidebook to the Seattle World’s Fair. Seattle, Pacific Builder and Engineer, April 1962, p. 31)
