December 23, 2011: A Different View of the Fair
“A Different View of the Fair” was submitted by Mr. Doug Chapman or Sioux Falls, SD. The photograph was take by his mother, Isabel Yeager.
From what I can tell, the Trylon and Perisphere is obvious, in the center in front of the Perisphere is the Gas Industries pavilion. To the far right is the RCA tower. Between the tower and the Gas building is the stature of “The Spirit of Electricty” on top of AT & T Pavilion.
I believe that in front of the Trylon is the back of the Home Building Center, and the houses in the foreground lie outside of the Fair.

Many thanks to all the people who have submitted photos and stories about the Fair during 2011.
Merry Christmas to all.
A different shot indeed! They clearly took their time setting this shot up. And those aren’t houses outside the fairgrounds – they’re the homes in the Town of Tomorrow! This shot was probably taken around the UK pavilion on the opposite shore of the Lagoon of Nations.
Thanks for the comment. You have better eyes than I … I spent a lot of time looking a photos trying to figure out exactly where the photo was taken, but never came up with a with an answer I liked. But, I like yours.
Happy New Year, thanks for visiting.
