1 How did they build these buildings 2 Where are pictures of them pouring the foundations? 3 Why for the love of everything holy would you tear these magnificent buildings down???? Why did they all of a sudden stop building these types of masterpieces? Mainly horse and buggy people could not build those monstrosities, but go ahead and make believe............. They were here before we came along!
Well, one thing that occurs to me is, like most worlds fairs, things were not built to code for permanent construction. Many of the buildings were to be seen not occupied, and certainly wouldn’t hold up to decades, or centuries of weather wear, earthquakes, etc. The same demolition happened in San Francisco at their Worlds Fair site: thankfully they at least preserved the Palace Of Fine Arts, which has stayed open and active as a place for exhibits, a science discovery museum, and performances & film festivals in the auditorium, and other events.
@@HunterMann Dude it baffles me how blind people can be! You obviously know nothing about construction. You/we’ve be played. Go to Jon Levi UA-cam channel to catch up. Also when the buildings cried channel your welcome
@@philyb3040 I grew up in a home built with architectural scrap from the 1893 Fair in Hinsdale, a suburb of Chicago. The fair buildings were built to be temporary, and then covered on the outside with a type of plaster and painted white. That is a matter of record. It must have been quit an exhibit to see, especially at night.
@@mikestyles499 I don’t believe anything the piece of shiit wealthy owners of America write in his story books. Go check out Jon Levi UA-cam channel then you’ll understand. Explain Angkor Wat’s construction smarty pants..... you think you’re smart but you’re not.
@@sablechicken Beats me. If that keeps you up at night, perhaps you should research reputable sources and find the answer. Do you suppose plaster to have been a rare substance in 1891?
Thank you for sharing your video. I wish I could have seen the exhibit. It looks amazing. But, will someone please tell me, what the story on the sea lion was?
They recaptured the 450 acres and the 170 buildings very nicely. Strange having a larger population and more people to tax.. and ewe cannot afford to make a single structure in memorance. Nice that ewe added some propaganda they forgot to include in the original programming camp

The entire complex was solid marble
No, it was not.
Most of it was 'staff', a plaster and plant fiber mixture, applied to wood and steel armatures.
@@-oiiio-3993 Where did they get all the plaster?

I have a souvenir glass ( for a beverage) from the 1893 worlds fair. It has a woman’s name on it. Rose Connelly was her name.
What is the song that plays at the beginning of the video?

Grow up, fool.
Tartarian
Fantasy.
They had the fairs around the world to direct social interest away from previous cultures
I went and it was good, but my expectations were a bit higher.
