Chicago 1893




My presentation for Coloradolady's Vintage Thingies Thursday is really back in time. If you would like to see many other interesting vintage features, go to http://coloradolady.blogspot.com.



The World's Columbian Exposition, which commemorated the 400th anniversary of Columbus voyage to America, was held April to October in 1893. It covered 686 acres. It is reported that more than 27 million people attended this event. It really must have been a grand occasion for that many people to visit.

Here in the top is Mining Building. Bottom Horticulture Building.

Top is Transportation Building and below it is the Manufactures and Decorative Arts building.

Not to make this post too long, included these as one shot.
