Title	View N.E. of Fine Arts Bldg. & Opera House to right
Identifier	spl_wl_sec_00903
Description	Fine Arts Pavilion and Opera House under construction, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). On the Fine Arts Pavilion, designed by Kirk, Wallace, McKinley & Associates: “The Fine Arts Pavilion is a permanent exhibition hall which will remain as part of the Seattle civic center after the World’s Fair…[It] contains 40-thousand square feet of unobstructed floor space. The vaulted ceiling rises 40 feet and the illumination is exceptionally good.” (Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 89.) On the Opera House, designed by Schack, Young & Myers and remodeled by Priteca & Chiarelli: “The brand-new Opera House (225 Mercer Street) had been constructed within the shell of Seattle's old Civic Auditorium -- which New York Times critic Harold C. Schonberg described as a ‘6,000 seat, flat-floored, unpleasant’ space that had ‘held just about everything but bullfights.’ Now the hall was the 3,100 seat pride of the town's arts establishment.” (Peter Blecha, “Century 21 Exposition (1962): Performing Arts at the Fair.” HistoryLink.org, http://historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=9371
