""The official title of the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago was A Century of Progress International Exposition. The Fair was organized to mark Chicago's one hundred year anniversary. The mission of the Fair was to demonstrate the significance of scientific and technological discoveries to industry and modern society and how those discoveries were being made. The Fair also showcased modern advancements in art, literature, and architecture from across the globe. Exhibits from all over the world included new automobile designs, houses of the future, and babies living in incubators. There was also an abundance of international carnival entertainment at the Fair, including the Skyride, a cable-suspended people mover higher than any building in Chicago. The midway provided games, a roller coaster, shows, and food. "" (encyclopedia.com) This is the East Tower of the Sky Ride, with the matching pillars below part of the Electrical Group Meeting. (These two pillars are the Water Gate, with each more than 100 ft. tall. They represent Light and Sound, are vaguely Aztec, and were done by sculptor Lee Lawrie.) The Sky Ride towers were nicknamed Amos and Andy, rose to 628 ft., and spanned 1850 feet across the lagoon.
