Caption: "Chicago Fair Grounds, View of Lagoon from Sky Ride. No 1 Agricultural Building. No2 Government Building. Sept. 17, 1934." Bird's eye view of a portion of the fair grounds for Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition. Two of the fair's structures have been labeled in this photograph, including the Agriculture Building, a long low structure, and the Federal Building, featuring three towers representing the three branches of the federal government. 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.
