    Caption: "Chrysler and Travel & Transport Bldg. Chicago Fair. Sept. 16, 1934." View of two buildings at the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. The Chrysler Motors building dominates the photograph, while the Travel and Transport Building can be seen at the left. The latter building featured a catenary roof, the first one built in the US. The Exposition, a world fair attended by thirty-nine million people, celebrated Chicago's one-hundred year anniversary of incorporation. Originally planned to only run from May to November in 1933, it was such a success that its organizers decided to keep it running for a second season from May through October the following year. The central theme of the Exposition was technological innovation, with a motto of "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms." None of the buildings constructed for the fair are still extant today, having been built as temporary facilities.
