- FEATURES
- The Florida Pavilion, situated on Meadow Lake, will be a complex of buildings to show Florida's history, current and future potential for living, vacationing, industrial development and cultural pursuites. A one hundred-ten foot citrus tower, a spectaular porpoise show, two model Florida homes and a large exhibit hall will be featured. The entire area will be landscaped with semi-tropical vegetation, pools and fountains simulating Florida living.
-
- The 110 foot citrus Tower topped with a giant orange which lights up at night, will be the landmark of the Florida exhibit. Near the top of the tower, a sign, 24 feet long and 3 feet wide, will spell out Florida on each side. The circular building, 50 feet in diameter at the base of the tower will be occupied by the Minute Maid Company.
-
- A beautiful 250 foot long bridge called "Bridge to the Keys" will lead to the two model retirement homes. These homes will be furnished and set in a Florida landscape of grass, shrubs, palm and citrus trees.
