'Man's Achievements in an Expanding Universe'

Whew boy! Be glad that some of the 'revolutionary' projects dreamed up to be showcased at the 1964 World's Fair never came to be- like the proposed atomic-powered highway building machine that cleared trees and built 1 mile of highway per hour. The bizarre proposals have faded away, but a few remainders from what was basically a two year advertising event still exist, including the New York State Pavilion.

     
     
     
 
An escalator leads to the
second tier of the pavilion.
  Many abandoned locations lack a roof- this
one is particularly noteworthy.
     
     
 
You may dance in the Ballroom ...   ... or across the map of New York State.
