 The Eastman
- Kodak
- Pavilion
-
- In
the design of the Kodak Pavilion, Will Burtin has succeeded in
creating a building that is an unescapable focal point of the
Fair grounds.
-
- The
pavilion tower, surmounted by five of the world's largest color
prints, is bathed by 1,200,000 watts of illumination day and
night, and rises more than 80 feet above the fairgrounds.
-
- The
69,000 square feet of the site is largely protected from the
weather but invitingly open, with its display of pictures from
every corner of the world . . . the result of more than a million
miles of travel by Kodak's picturetaking crews. There are rest
spots, and garden spots, a children's area, and two theaters
where visitors will enjoy unusual film presentations.
