The Century of Progress1933-34 Chicago World's Fair
Photos on CD #2
In 1933 Chicago hosted a World's Fair to mark the 100th anniversary of the memorable World's Columbian Exposition. Dubbed "The Rainbow City", the fair featured numerous Art Deco styled buildings (interestingly, most didn't have windows!), displays from many of the largest American companies, vintage steam locomotives and more. One of the most interesting attractions was the Skyride, which let visitors ride between two towers that were several hundred feet high. Those brave enough to ride to the top were treated to great views of the fair and the nearby city. The fair was so successful it returned for a second season in 1934.
