Description
Space Needle , Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). “The Space Needle , a modernistic totem of the Seattle World’s Fair , was conceived by Eddie Carlson as a doodle in 1959 and given form by architects John Graham Jr. , Victor Steinbrueck , and John Ridley. When King County declined to fund the project , five private investors , Bagley Wright , Ned Skinner , Norton Clapp , John Graham Jr. , and Howard S.
