Pan American Expo. in Buffalo day 37-39

                 Today I will wright about the ideal way to enter the fair grounds (based on the planers of the fair). They first wanted the people to enter though the Lincoln Parkway Gate. This was because of its location, it was still in a park like atmosphere, then in a subtle pace, changed to the exuberant fair grounds. After walking in this park like setting they would come across the Triumphal Bridge. Massive 116 feet high pilers with statues that stood another 30 feet tall! One critic from The Architectural Review found it;

View of Electric Tower through
 the Triumphal Bridge 

    conceived upon so grandiose a scale that it becomes impossible for the remainder of the architecture to be kept in scale with it, and the water beneath it sinks into insignificance. The pylons dwarf the vista seen between them. Even the Central Tower seems small in comparison, and it is not until the bridge is past that the dignity of this tower is felt.
But the rest of the people were in awe over this grand structure.

Pan American Expo. in Buffalo day 1-36

    This is the Pan Am expos 110 aneversery from May 1st to November 2nd. This was the high point in Buffalo's history. Where Buffalo was the center of attention of the world for a few months. The location of this Pan Am is by Hoyt Lake and the Albright-Knox art gallery. For one thing to be clear the Albrigt gallery was not built for the fair but for local use, but it was ,however, used even though it was not finished till 1905. Since the Albright was big and elaborate the architects for the Pan Am slaked and made their art gallery dull and not fancy,because of this the Albright was put on the post cards.(below)
